EPISODE THREE – Creating a Destination: Bishopsgate Goodsyard with Chris Dyson, Chris Dyson Architects & Nicola Zech-Behrens, Ballymore

“Bishopsgate Goodsyard is between creative Shoreditch, the buzzing Brick Lane and the grown up city… the challenge will be to bring these different areas together and create a destination in its own right, whilst retaining its existing fabric and authenticity.”

“As the largest remaining parcel of brownfield land in London, Bishopsgate Goodsyard enjoys a rich layered history and is known for its distinctive Victorian industrial architecture. The area has long been a crucible for lateral thinking and new ideas; connecting a diverse tapestry of communities, it is a seam that runs through the creative and financial districts of Shoreditch.”
