Arts studios in South Kilburn
The Architecture Foundation, South Kilburn Neighbourhood Trust and Practice Architecture will be working together to transform the portacabin site adjacent to Peel Precinct into design studios. Building work will begin in February with the studios opening from April – September 2011.
Free studio spaces will be offered to designers, to support start up businesses and to open up the skills base within the area. Each resident designer or organisation will take on a local apprentice to work alongside them in their studio - sharing their knowledge and expertise. In addition, a weekly programme of practitioner-led workshops will be held here and will
be open to the general public.
The Architecture Foundation would love to hear from anyone who wants to get involved.
