Re/making the Street

Re/making the Street looks at how residential urban streets are much more than just roads. They are remarkably individual, rich environments that make, shape and support communities and society.

The exhibition features as its centrepiece an installation that deconstructs the design and planning behind one street. Visitors get to walk through a scale model of Bonchurch Road, a new London street which encapsulates the complexity of our built environment. This installation is used as a platform to explore the design elements that can help make healthy, socially cohesive streets and encourage flourishing communities.

In the supporting material, the themes and issues examined are put into a wider historical, social and design context, showing how our ideas of the street and how it works have dramatically changed over time.
