Architects DK-CM have reworked a series of public spaces in the Outer London borough of Redbridge using an architectural language drawing from Modernist master, Frederick Gibberd and Barkingside’s traditional high street. The project is part of a wider set of alterations enhancing the dual identity of the borough. This ‘schizophrenic urbanism’ suggests an alternative conception of place making which has much to teach peripheral locations elsewhere.
