Autumn Lecture Series 2024: Green Belt, Grey Belt and Brownfield: How the British housing crisis happened, and how to get over it: 2. Learning from Colin Ward
Thursday 31 October 2024 at 6.30pm
The Gallery, 70 Cowcross Street, London, EC1M 6EJ
Cristina Monteiro and David Knight are both avid readers of the work of the ‘gentle' anarchist Colin Ward (1924-2010). In 2016, David wrote ‘I’m sure Ward would have found cause for optimism in today’s groundswell of cooperative, mutual and third sector forms of human association, which despite frosty conditions are a measurably growing influence in our communities, in housing provision, and in emerging forms of design practice.’
Cristina Monteiro and David Knight founded DK-CM, a practice that works in public from the design of buildings and public spaces to strategy, research design guidance and policy.
