What happens when once closed areas of a neighbourhood open up to be enjoyed by all?
Join us as we walk around our Truman Brewery site with Giles and Rosie from Spacehub to explore their sensitive work on the Landscape and Public Realm design for our Truman Brewery redevelopment in East London. In this episode, we unravel their strategies for creating interconnected, functional outdoor spaces that not only complement architectural designs but also provide inviting public areas for relaxation and interaction. Learn how they envision a more permeable environment that enhances the overall experience for both residents and visitors.
We dig deep into the complexities of balancing functionality, sustainability, and community engagement in urban design. From standout trees to rain gardens and sustainable drainage systems (SuDS), find out how these landscape architects integrate greenery and water management into their designs to enhance biodiversity and improve peoples connection to nature in this urban location. We'll also touch on the importance of preserving the unique character of neighborhoods like the Brick Lane, steering clear of a corporate feel, and crafting public realms that are playable without the need for formal playgrounds.
We shed light on integrating new facades and activating spaces while blending new developments with the existing urban fabric. Hear about the ambitious project to reuse heritage materials and the commitment to sustainability, aiming to create a cohesive, evolving community that honours its historical roots while meeting modern needs. Don't miss this insightful conversation on shaping vibrant, dynamic urban spaces that foster community and stand the test of time.
