Wandsworth Common
Playground
A proposal for a natural playscape for Wandsworth Council. Lady Allen Adventure Playground sits alongside the site. We wanted to take inspiration form some of her theories in play design - in particular her attitude to risk.
We wanted at the centre of the deign to be the highest possible (4m) free climb without barriers. This could be achieved with a web system of ropes that create a highly challenging risky climb but with an obstructed safe fall.
A live build pavilion project with Chelsea College of Arts Spatial Design students, installed at the Tate Britain.
I am an architectural practitioner specialising in experimental approaches to participation. My work explores how young people can be actively involved in processes of research, design, and construction. I am interested in working at the edges of habitats, developing infrastructures that bring us close to nature.
My practice brings together research, teaching, and design. I currently lecture at UCA Canterbury and the University of the Arts London, and my projects span a range of scales from temporary installations and participatory workshops to large-scale public realm strategies.
