Description
Weekly programmes by Open City. Making architecture and cities more open, accessible, and equitable. In this episode, Matthew Lloyd Roberts is joined by architect John Puttick to discuss Peckham Library, one of a number of civic and community projects commissioned to mark the turn of the millenium. It was designed by Alsop & Störmer Architects with engineering by AKT II and won the Stirling Prize in 2000, and combines ebullient and eccentric design culture with a hard-wearing material palette to create a hugely successful piece of community infrastructure.
