Eudaemonia: Towards a vision for urban peripheries

Design Workshop: Group 1

The students were asked to respond to a number of key questions: “If architects have a role to play in securing urban wellbeing, where should they begin? What are the drivers for change? Who are the key actors? In what way should urban areas and civic association be shaped to support what we call - living at our best? The work that has been accomplished is not a manifesto, one that is looking to define what “city based on health and well-being agenda” is or should be. The students will be asking you to consider a set of ambitious visions for the area of Brentford, moving away from repeating a set of perhaps more familiar, market driven, developmental models and starting to outline a flexible framework for rediscovering area’s true geographic potential, conceived through the lens of health and well being.
