Our Urban Playground
Author: Morag Bain
The Our Urban Playground project was part of the nationwide ‘Architecture for Everyone’ campaign - a partnership between the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust and architectural firm RMJM - which encourages young people from Britain's inner cities to consider a career in architecture and urban planning.
An exhibition presented the processes and outcomes of a series of six city workshops (Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, London, Birmingham and Glasgow) that engaged 125 young people in examining the theme of designing for sport and leisure. The work shown was derived from the participants working with leading specialists in the field of architecture, street sport, video and sound, with inspiration taken from the London 2012 Olympic Games and Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games sites.
