Building Streetscene at Cityscape

Design of Streetscene

Innovations for the built environment is held at Earls Court 2 in London between 27th February and 1st March. It contains five events - ecobuild, futurebuild, regenex, building for health and cityscape, all representing the most important themes affecting the built environment today.

SLIC were given the opportunity of designing the central piece of cityscape, Streetscene, the biggest and most prominent feature of the exhibition covering 100sqm plot. We were asked to create a design that bought the following elements - design excellence, sustainability, inclusiveness, accessibility, healthy lifestyles and a sense of community.






Construction and Preparation

Streetscene incorporates hard and soft landscaping, street furniture, signage, lighting and public art using sustainable products constributed by Marshalls, Civic Trees, International Art Consultants and many more. Working on the construction of Streetscene I undertook tasks such as painting, infilling paving and planting of trees. It was a good opportunity to work alongside contractors, a project manager, artists etc to understand what is involved in bringing a project to life. I'm looking forward to revisiting the site on Wednesday to see Streetscene completed.


Hard at work!
