Burwell Architects, University Crumble London,
2nd Place Winners 2017
In 2017, the city was built on a masterplan that was broken into four distinct parts; an Old Town, the New Town, the Eco Town and the Energy Town each forming an ingredient that comes together to produce the finished city. Character Areas (Crumble Hill, Cake a Diem, Churning District, Central Baking District, Treacle-Tech Hub and Home-craft Honeycomb) are the pieces that make up the gingerbread city jigsaw.
Each Character Area has its own tasty style, and each features one or two signature landmark buildings that allow for hierarchies of space to be established, yet the public realm is fluid throughout. The city’s planning policy enables it to grow in a sustainable way, yet allows for innovation to blossom alongside conservation.
