Join us for an evening of good food, good drink and good conversation at Build Studios. Alternative Practice aims to create a community of young workers and students that are interested in challenging the boundaries of traditional built environment discipline.

Alternative Practice presents a workshop to explore participation in sustainable urbanism. Guided by our hosts Amy Marsden (landscape architect) and Will Chantry (sustainability consultant) we will map, make and play whilst redefining what a ‘sustainable’ city looks, feels and behaves like. We will use the inner-city pocket of Waterloo as our canvas, to develop our sustainable agenda.

Note: No prior knowledge of Waterloo or sustainable urbanism is necessary. Our activities will be focusing on the two primary walking routes from Waterloo Station (and adjacent bus stops) to Build Studios. If you have time before the workshop feel free to take a conscious walk from there to us to take in the area. Otherwise your curiosity and enthusiasm will more than suffice.

Our Workshop Facilitators

Our speakers/facilitators are either students or young workers. We believe It is important to give young people agency in important discussions. Rejecting the idea that you have to be ‘established’ or ‘successful’ to have a voice. We hope this can encourage a participative environment.
