Urban Riches 3: City Building Detail
Tower Hamlets, London, UK
Tower Hamlets local authority, in its desire to make space for small communities of self-builders is adding another player to a rich tapestry of city changers. Tower Hamlets is about to release its second round of sites that it has ear-marked for self-build groups to construct their own homes. Studio 2 seeks to propose schemes that focus on ‘not just’ housing. Students have designed homes for a range of generations and family types and also propose additional uses that can enhance the places in which they are sited. Studio 2 takes great care to focus on scales of city, building and detail.
Teaching partner: Colin O’Sullivan.
Student work: Hailey Savage, Nikola Woon.
