New Cross Development on Show at the
Royal Institute of British Architects
Plans for a new multi million pound health and cultural centre are on show at the Royal Institute of British Architects in London until the 15th July. The exhibition documents the architectural competition to select a designer for a health and cultural centre as part of a major regeneration programme for the area.
The development will be health-focused and anticipates the emerging Government policy for integrated health care and community facilities. The ambitious brief includes an 8 GP doctor’s surgery, pharmacy, dentist, library, café, crèche artist’s spaces, housing and a major new public space, which is identified as one of the London Mayor’s 100 spaces.
The exhibition also documents the existing buildings and last remaining tenants who give their views on live in 1950’s style housing and their thoughts moving to a new development near by.
The exhibition is open to the public Monday -Friday 10am to 6pm and Saturdays 10am - 5pm at the Royal Institute of British Architects until the 15th July.
