Walking provides a novel perspective on issues, themes and artefacts within the built environment. Bartlett Walks is a series of PhD student led excursions around different corners of London. Covering diverse themes such as graffiti, regeneration and surveillance, the walks all assume different methodological or thematic approaches to the built environment. Come along, explore London, and get to know fellow Bartlett students from other departments.
Taking in the extent of the Olympic Park, this walk will examine themes of regeneration, including the use of the Olympic Games as a vehicle for this, with a discussion about the resultant legacy. We will also get a sneak preview of the Bartlett's new facilities in Here East.
Sites will include the Stadium, Velodrome, Olympic Park and swimming pool as well as associated infrastructure.
MAKE YOUR WAY TO PUDDING MILL LANE DLR STATION BY 2PM READY FOR THE START.
This walk will be led by Bill Hodgson, Bartlett School of Architecture.
