Timber Square and Open House Festival: A journey through art, architecture and Southwark’s industrial heritage.
We recently welcomed visitors for a guided tour of Timber Square’s permanent public art collection, curated and delivered by Hive Curates in partnership with
@landsecgroup .
Across the site are works by three exceptional women artists,
@amelia_bowles_ ,
@clareeburnett and
@akmasya , who have each responded to a different aspect of the square’s unique history, creating pieces that draw on the area’s industrial roots while connecting with its sustainable future.
Visitors uncovered the stories embedded within Timber Square as the project architects,
@bennettsassociates , shared their insights into the design evolution of the project. The tour explored each of the artworks in turn, revealing a variety of historical references behind them, from the rhythm of the former printing presses that would have been housed at the Print Building, to a nearby discovery of a Roman mosaic.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, to the artists Amelia, Clare and Akmaral for creating such thoughtful and distinctive works, to all the team at Landsec and to the fantastic guides at Bennetts Associates.
