We’re excited to reveal the revitalised #CopthallPavilion with London Festival of Architecture Barnet Council and GPAD This temporary design intervention is a collaborative project between GPAD and POoR for #LFA2024. The project was to reimagine the two-storey sports pavilion located in #CopthallPlayingFields as a welcoming community hub to encourage people of all ages to get involved in sport, and have their say about the future of the building. This project was the result of a competition run by LFA and Barnet Council, building on #Barnet’s involvement with the London Festival of Architecture as a key destination for #LFAat20.

It was an honour to present at this year’s RIBA London Awards representing Build The Way C.I.C, and also receive a congratulations ourselves for our progress on our traineeship! Great opportunity to share the benefits of a traineeship and show our learnings with Day In The Life placements, and from mentors at The London School of Architecture and the POoR Collective. Thank you to Dian Small and Ashanti Darby for organising this, and all the inspiring people we listened to/ met, at this exciting stage of our journey in shaping the Built Environment.

Bexleyheath High Streets for All has been shortlisted in the Activation category for the Pineapples Awards 2024. We Made That led a team including POoR Collective and Bohemia Place Market to prototype public realm interventions with local young people and curate a programme of night markets on behalf of London Borough of Bexley and Mayor of London. Bexleyheath town centre serves as an important hub for several communities of varied backgrounds. Pressures resulting from their differing needs causes tension between these groups. Through workshops, events and design, we’ve been bridging the gap between communities and empowering often-marginalised, young people in Bexleyheath. The team’s work has contributed to #Bexleyheath’s high street recovery and delivery plan, including: - 5 night markets - 14 youth workshops - 2 youth markets - 1 youth event delivered, co-curated and hosted by the young people #highstreets #highstreetsforall #activation #festivalofplace Mark David Flynn, Larry Botchway, Holly Lewis 🙌

Before we break for Easter - a huge shout to this incredible project! With the partner in BC creative crime Maria Papaioannou British Council's Circular Cultures programme, became a Design School and was delivered in collaboration with ONASSIS FOUNDATION Onassis ONX , for its 6th year! About a month ago, we launched Circular Cultures Design School, delving deep into Materiality-Immateriality in Circular Design. 💡 🛠️ Participants dove into Strand A: Materiality, exploring sustainable placemaking and circular materials with POoR collective POoR Collective & Boulouki 💻 They also ventured into Strand B: Immateriality, where AI met design, led by Ploipailin Flynn AIxDESIGN 💖 & guest speaker Vali Lalioti. Brilliant participants joined us as we pushed the boundaries of creativity and sustainability, public space and placemaking together with AI and ethics - something for everyone in the design world! 🌿✨ #CircularCultures #DesignSchool #SustainableDesign

Yesterday our Build The Way trainees Zanib Naveed Jamila Saha Inaya Qureshi & Iman Yasin visited Quantem for their first 'Day in the life of...' session. Putting on their quantity surveyor hat, the trainees gained an insight into the surveying world, understanding the technicalities behind the role and heading on-site to see the design process from a different perspective. A huge thank you to Alex Jones and the rest of the team at Quantem for inviting the trainees into your office! Over the next three months, our trainees will be spending one day a week with different consultants and designers who all play a part in the creation of buildings, spaces and places. It's such an important part of the Build The Way programme as it highlights transferable skills across the different roles in the industry. Looking forward to next week with West 1 ! #traineeship #architecturetraining #quantitysurveying #surveyor GPAD HUT Architecture shedkm Morrow + Lorraine The London School of Architecture POoR Collective
