PGDip over


Finally finished my PGDip in landscape architecture, what a trip it has been! I have learned to be patient and not to rush things.

My project, Rolling Design, encapsulates my thinking about landscape architecture and to a certain extent about public art. As set out earlier in this blog, Rolling design, uses events to activate a place. This process of activation will engage the community. The positive momentum created by the activation and engagement will lead to the start-up of an engaging and creative design process involving the designer but also the community and site, which will never end. Rolling Design will provide for gradual design interventions and a continuous process of activation.

Irrepressible Movement


New Work from Sarah Foque & James Johnson-Perkins
Cecil Sharp House
Camden
London
10th Jul - 31st Aug
Preview, 9th July, 6pm


This exhibition showcases colourful new work from Sarah Foque & James Johnson-Perkins. Both artists' work is site specific and utilises intense colours in its execution. Sarah Foque creates installations with straight bands of colour, responding to a site's history and people's movement through it. James Johnson-Perkins uses references to popular culture of the 1980s to create works of play and nostalgia. His installation at Cecil Sharp House will span all four storeys of the building through the centre of the staircase, whilst Sarah Foque's multi-coloured lines will be immediately viewable from the main entrance.
