London: Walter Segal event

Seminar 6.30 pm-8.30 pm, 24 Jul 2017
Greater London

Join an evening celebrating the life and work of pioneering architect Walter Segal who designed homes that ordinary people could build themselves.

Walter Segal led the 1970s UK self-build movement and persuaded the London Borough of Lewisham to sponsor a do-it-yourself experiment. The result was twenty homes that are unusual both in the way they look and in the way they were conceived and built. Segal died before the project was completed and, in his honour, the residents named the streets after him - Walters Way and Segal Close. Thirty years on, the houses are still standing and have been adapted to meet the needs of today’s residents.

Meet the residents and authors of Walters Way and Segal Close: The Architect Walter Segal and London's Self-Build Community at this panel discussion. The book traces the history of the streets and looks at how the homes have been adapted while retaining their strong community spirit.
