Contest announced to revamp Camden street
A street in Camden is set to be given a radical makeover to increase its biodiversity and add more colour, as part of a new contest that has been announced.
This contest has been launched by the London Festival of Architecture (LFA) and is being called ‘Greening Phoenix Road.’ Artists, designers and architects from around the UK are being encouraged to submit designs that will make this Camden road into an area rich in biodiversity and colour for the festival itself, which takes place during the summer.
During that period, Phoenix Road will be closed to traffic for one weekend while it serves as one of the central bases for the festival. Promotional products provided by Clapham outlets are one way the organisers of festivals in the district can spread the word about them.
Those looking to enter this contest are being urged to consider the possibilities of areas with no cars and what the word ‘act’ can mean – as this is the theme of the event.
The LFA and local council have also said that they want submissions that spark the imagination with bold ideas that could be implemented in the longer term. These must add greenery to the street, be accessible for everyone, well connected, add play and sociability, and fit the area’s existing character.
The festival will take place in June.
