The London Society Architecture School : Change and the Public / Good Sewers and Paths

This year’s Architecture School will examine moments of change in London that were underpinned by notions of public good, with a series of three talks exploring how development for the benefit of people not profit has influenced and continues to inform the built fabric of the city.

SEWERS AND PATHS
Architect Graeme Sutherland will launch the 2021 Architecture School with a talk about what lies beneath our feet, tracing connections between Sir Joseph Bazalgette’s extensive and transformational underground system of sewers in the 19th century - delivered in response to the ailing health of the city - and the All London Green Grid in the 21st century - a policy framework for green infrastructure across London, for the benefit of people and wildlife.
