EXHIBITION AT APT GALLERY

Deptford Update is an exhibition of architecture, landscape, art and urban design work, including drawings and models. The exhibition is accompanied by a programme of events showcasing emerging public realm and development projects in Deptford and North Lewisham.
Part of the gallery is being set up as a meeting room available free of charge to local organisations. Events planned include a heritage walk, design workshops, a two day design charrette lead by Creative Process building on the successful charrette event from June 2008 and design crits for architecture students working in the area.
The exhibition is intended to invite debate on the design ambitions for the area amongst the local community, key players from the private and public sector and designers involved in shaping London’s public realm.

LERNER AT RIBA IN NOVEMBER

Jaime Lerner's 'urban revolution' successfully transformed a congested, grimy, crime-ridden city into a world-renowned model of green living and social innovation. His talk will focus on the role cities play in contemporary society, shown through case studies, enhancing the meaning of design both in structuring urban growth and in the development project of a city, a state, a country. He will also address the key issue of mobility – stressing the importance of public transportation and discuss how sustainability and identity are vital areas for intervention.
