In September 230 residents booked free tickets to hear six
presentations from designers and architects who introduced their ideas for how
to improve the Rosebank Villas route into Walthamstow High Street.
Those attending gave most
votes to the concept put forward by Ed Crooks. The panel, choosing the
concept to follow up, agreed that
the Walthamstow Supernova concept put forward by Ed Crooks would now be
developed into a detailed design before being implemented. The £2,000
prize
money is a fixed fee to support Ed Crooks in researching the materials,
colour
scheme and installation process working together with Matter
Architecture so
that the proposal forms an integral part of the improvements to
Walthamstow
High Street and market.
Work will begin on site in spring 2019 following the Borough
of Culture launch in January.
