A small selection of recent images from a project I am working on at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Such a fascinating place, and hard to decide whether its a brilliant or terrible piece of city making - only time will tell I suppose.

Layers of history.

Whitecross Estate at night. Part of an ongoing workshop series in collaboration with Peabody Estates that is teaching lighting designers social research skills so they can ensure their designs respond to the needs of local communities. We also hosted a guerilla lighting event with residents to engage them in the redesign of their public spaces.

Whitecross Estate from day to night. We have been talking to residents about the way they use the public spaces and their vision for a new lighting strategy.

Still can’t get over how dominated public space in India is by men and boys. Really grinds you down after a while...

Moments from recent travels in Indonesia, Hong Kong, Vancouver and California.

Kerala, India. A long bus journey in the rain.

Adriana and Olivia - young eyes full of wisdom.

Epic Southbank.
