As part of our Urban Ecology theory module we visited Odham's Walk, a social house scheme set above a podium of shops, addressing the shortage of quality housing & businessess within Covent Garden, aimed at supporting sustainable communities.
Elements of 'Mat' building typologies, which the unit is interested in this year, can be found within this project; showing signs of; varieties of space, repetative/iterative geometries, multiple level open public walkways, inbetween spaces, public coutyards & private patios, as well as multi programmed & sustainable social interaction, and it's setting within the city.
The conglomerate clusters and complex organisation of the spaces are a little unclear in my photos, so it is worthwhile others visiting at some point to experience these spaces. (axo to follow shortly)
