Leicester Square Quarter Redesign. Reconciling history and modernity

Marie Burns is one of the founding Directors of Burns + Nice, an award winning landscape architecture and urban design practice based in Clerkenwell, London.
The design and implemented project for Leicester Square in central London has won fifteen awards including the UK Landscape Institute’s President’s Award in 2013.
This is an account of the thought processes and practical work that led to that outcome.

The Google Earth aerial view and image from the Yale Center for British art have been inserted subsequently by UrbanNous and do not feature in the live presentation.
