Abstract

Join us for our workshop 'Buildings, Design and Community'' which will give VOICE to anyone interested in improving urban, unloved and underused buildings, exploring how they can move from, 'hostile to hospitable’.

At the workshop we will identify highlights of our local built environment, examine opportunities, discuss the ongoing and imminent alterations in North Finchley, as well as creatively imagine spaces for improvement. The work on display will present ideas around the potential sustainable, future use and habitation of buildings in Finchley, focusing on Adaptive Reuse as a means for social change.

The outcomes will link to an exhibition of architectural design work, on show at out Hendon campus, that will be open to the public till June 17th. Facilitated by students and tutors from MA Interiors (Architecture and Design) at Middlesex University, the workshop is open to everyone and all ages.
