Art Camp muf architecture /art with Vicki Lewis
Objectives 3 + 4: To establish in young people/children a sense of responsibility and ownership for the transformation and use of the neighbourhood environment. To promote to developers and local authorities the need to include the presence of the child in future developments. These objectives were achieved in the folowing ways:
November 01 Play Walk Art Camp was relocated to the canal side and with Albion Kids Club kit of ‘loose parts’ the children re purposed the tow path as part of the design development process of the Canal Park https://vimeo.com/52819034.
Opportunities identified for Art Camp 2013 St Clements Hospital Development Proposal to deliver Art Camp in partnership with PATH at St Clements Hospital as meanwhile use to brief develop for the future presence of the child and creativity.
This work is included in the Canal Park Masterplan and Design Codes. The children will be further included in the detail design of a number of elements in a session in February 2013, for example positioning embankment slides on site in accordance with the rules of the picturesque.
St Clements is a CLT Community Land Trust and a potential model process for the HWFI Cultural Interest Group to include children in brief development of sites they may establish through CLT
September 23 - 24 Open House Open Studios The exhibition of the children’s work at Open House and the inclusion of Art Camp on the official guide situated children as part of the culture of Hackney Wick. (Audience numbers in the 1000s)
Development of Central Books Site Art Camp was located in Central Books in 2012 and has a baseline experience of the site which is to be redevelop. We are in dialogue with the developer to secure Central Books as a base for Art Camp 2013 and for the children through muf to contribute to the development plans.
At the Wallis Road hub development site the presence of the children to explain their work to adult visitors and the work itself transformed the site entrance in a tangible way. Encounters included those with both journalists and passers by, including a family group from the traveller community in Hackney Wick.
Barbican Art Gallery, Create and Frieze ‘free art school’ Seminar We are talking to the Barbican Art Gallery, Create and Frieze to host a seminar on Art Camp as part of the development stages of their ‘free art school’ project (for adults) Spring 2013.

Ongoing The Art Camp as process contributed to the principles for Chobham Manor public realm as a London iteration of the US model of play-borhood. The potential for Art Camp to have a presence during the construction of phase 1 and to input into the detail design of the ongoing phases for Chobham Manor is part of the public realm strategy for the Zonal Master plan. The strategy is for a presence on site during construction entitled ‘more than a canteen’ and is supported by Sebastian Balcombe of Taylor Wimpy (to further develop this proposal requires dialogue with Taylor Wimpy and the LLDC and the Chandos Centre.)
