Studio Weave were commissioned by Hackney in 2013 to design a temporary public realm scheme. The scheme provided an opportunity to engage local citizens about how the High Street may change – including design and specification and installation of seating and planting. The project prototyped various extents of pedestrianisation using temporary paint; encouraging feedback from the public and allowing people to imagine a pedestrian friendly future.
