    Exchange Square receives its first award nomination

    We’ve really appreciated the glowing feedback we’ve received for Exchange Square since it opened earlier this year, from the tenants of Broadgate to local residents we’ve met walking their dogs in their new park.

    It’s great to now be receiving recognition with its first award nomination: Best Public Space at The Pineapples. This awards series is organised by The Developer and Festival of Place, and celebrates thriving public spaces which make a positive environmental and social impact on urban life.

    Want to be a City-Maker?

    Are you ready to engage, change, and improve your community?

    Do you want to win prizes, learn new design skills and get the Citizenship Award? 

    In partnership with Lambeth and HeadstartED, DSDHA have established the “Many Different Voices” project - a 3-in-1 online teamwork, training and competition project, to give school students a chance to be part of the real-life redesign of Lambeth roads.

    This exciting project will see school students work on an online project to design improvements to street space in Railton Road, one of Lambeth's new Low Traffic Neighbourhoods.

    Students aged 13-16 will use Minecraft to enter a design competition, with the chosen ideas becoming a reality on Brixton streets.

    The project begins on Thursday 13 August with an online workshop.

    Interested students should register at HeadstartEDhub.com using their school email address. 

    DSDHA helped set the design principles for judging the competition entries and will run online Q&A sessions and workshops for the project.

    The Many Different Voices project is being run by the studio's Spatial Intelligence Group, who are currently working on responses to Covid-19 within our urban environment. 

    Further information on the Many Different Voices project is available at https://rtstreets.commonplace.is/schemes/proposals/many-different-voices/details.
