Following on from The Urban Explorer of Vancouver’s Civic Buildings event in Canada, our London crew hosted a similar event in December 2017.

A team of explorers took to the streets around Southbank to uncover, observe and map spaces that perform a civic function. Seven volunteers from a spectrum of backgrounds used our toolkit to record observations and ideas, measuring the ‘publicness’ of South London’s civic buildings. The event concluded as all good things do, in the nearby pub, where we shared and discussed our findings of the day.

We’re planning another Civic Explorers Day in London this year to add to our research. Get in touch at be@eclective.co.uk if you’d like to be involved.
