RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA)) Thursday - The Renewal of St Martin-in-the-Fields: a case study in social space making
30th Jul 2009; 13:00 (UK time) July 30th 09 at 8 am Toronto Time
Renowned architect and Royal Academician Eric Parry visits the RSA to discuss the recently completed redevelopment of St Martin-in-the-Fields.
The project has created a sequence of interconnected public spaces both above and below ground as well as a wide range of amenities for a diverse range of users, including the homeless, St Martin's core congregation, the local Chinese community and state of the art facilities for professional musicians.
This highly complex scheme creates a synergy between the baroque church and the contemporary additions, facilitates the flow of access to and from Trafalgar Square and exemplifies the practice's considered approach to place-making within a culturally and historically sensitive context.
