Congratulations to Katie Oliver in Scott Tallon Walker Architects who as part of the university team at the London School of Architecture - Metabolic City - were highly commended for our submission for the Architects for Health award in the DIP Arch category.
"London is sick. Pressures from living in a dense city can make leading a physical and mentally positive lifestyle a challenge. Pollution, stress, poverty, lengthy commutes, restrictions on council amenities mean many are unable to take advantage of the facilities and opportunities to live well."
Our aim was to act as urban doctors, dispensing preventative design medication integrated into the natural flow of our experience of the city organism.
The Architects for Health Student Design Awards 2018 took place in the Wellcome Collection. The London School of Architecture 'Idencity' Exhibition is in the Roca Gallery and is on display until the end of July 2018.
