About This Live Project

The Live Project aims to reconsider the estate in terms of navigation, identity, ownership, connections, environment, community, security and the long term future of Lansdowne

We hope to raise aspirations for the area and challenge the view that the estate is fixed with little opportunity for local people to make an impact in their built environment.

We aim to devise forms of communication and representation that can creatively engage people living in the estate, tackling architectural issues for the shared spaces in the estate.

This may be in the form of physical permanent and/or temporary interventions within Lansdowne.

Second Meeting: 03/10/08
NAVIGATION
The brief has been streamlined to allow us to focus our time more effectively on one focus for the live project, Navigation.
Navigation encompasses the aspirations of the live project, looking at how the Lansdowne estate is navigated, not only in the sense of how people get around, but also how they identify themselves as part of the estate, and how identity is in way
finding.
As part of our ongoing 'navigation' through the project, we have completed a first draft stakeholder map, which will soon be uploaded. Yogs looks especially pleased with the map in its paper form (see above).
We have also undergone an identity change, now becoming:
LOST IN LANSDOWNE
No one seemed quite sure where LIFE came from, so it was jettisoned for a title which better suits our aims.
Mapping is continuing, as is further historical research, but we are now beginning to delegate tasks for the launch party of LOST IN LANSDOWNE.... more details to follow
Goat Watch= No sightings as yet
