Green Tease: Creative Solutions to Temporary Sites
Date/time: 30th August, 16:00 – 18:00
Venue: North Edinburgh Arts, 15a Pennywell Court, Edinburgh EH4 4TZ
Centipede Project, based in North Edinburgh, are offering a guided tour of and discussion about their three public spaces in Muirhouse all within a 1 km of each other, developed in collaboration with local residents, businesses and schools, and latterly in partnership with City of Edinburgh Council.
These brownfield interventions include a huge grass labyrinth, a natural play area, and a former low rise housing block site now under development into a wildflower meadow, and natural play area. We will also include their most recent construction, a 25m rammed-earth Amphitheatre and stage. During the session we’ll learn about the different values that creative practices can bring to sustainable brownfield sites and public space developments.
This event will appeal to those working in areas including: urban planning and regeneration, green and brownfield space development, community development, landscape architecture, urban playground development, creative practices. It is run as part of our Green Tease Open Call Fund.
