Chris Dyson – London Festival of Architecture

LFA 2019 Theme: Boundaries

In this essay, Chris shares his thoughts on London Festival of Architecture’s 2019 theme of boundaries.

“Like so much of central London, Spitalfields is a palimpsest of people, places and activity where boundaries constantly change. Recognising that old ways are no longer relevant is not a negative act: it I can be a positive one that offers new hope and relevance for the neighbourhood. We must learn to embrace change and throw away the boundaries we impose upon ourselves.”
