To mark the opening of his Reframing Space exhibition at The Building Centre next week, I was joined this week by Will Sandy, Landscape Architect and Designer, who has recently returned from a British Council-supported project in Caracas, Venezuela, which explored innovative ways of activating & reinvigorating public space. 

We talked about his work with stakeholders in Caracas, and how it was informed by his wider approach to design - challenging ideas about what counts as good public space; how to make design meaningful; and the ways that rethinking temporary interventions can both enhance the experience of place for members of the public and the economics of large scale developments. And some characteristically thought-provoking ways of thinking about the benefits that designing with nature brings for the people who use the space.
