GP 15: Everyday Architecture Landscape Urban Design: with Julian Lewis of East

Grow Places

Have you ever walked through a city and felt a wave of inspiration simply by experiencing the place? That's the magic Julian Lewis of East, describes in constructing spaces that don't just stand but speak to the soul of urban environments. This episode is a journey into the heart of vibrant public spaces, where Julian intricately weaves the tales of buildings and landscapes that transform mundane activities into memorable experiences. Imagine a world where a plain wall isn't just a boundary but a canvas for childhood play; Julian reveals how such thoughtful judgments in design can deeply enrich our neighbourhoods.
As we traverse the philosophies underpinning East's approach, you'll be enveloped in a narrative of personal growth and intellectual discovery. He invites us into his world, where the lines between personal identity, social interaction, and learning environments blur into a single, purposeful pursuit of creating spaces that foster public interaction and collective memory. Further, we unravel the art of collaborative design, discussing how professionals from myriad backgrounds converge to shape projects that resonate with a community's heart. Prepare to be inspired as we uncover how place is not only a reflection of culture and education but a powerful catalyst for both.
