Designing For Public Spaces: Improving The Public Realm Through Design
This was a brilliant lecture by Lindsay Whitelaw, Whitelaw + Turkington. She spoke about a new project in Greenwich, Penninsula Square which will accomodate huge amounts of visitors whilst at the same time providing flood control for the Thames by allowing inundation during high water levels. This will be a key site I can look at in my dissertation. Other projects included St. Pauls Green and Gillet Square in Dalston mentioned in 100 public spaces, NLA.
