The Bridge

Concieved while talking about lonliness and social isolation in our communities, The Bridge is a prototype project co-designed and tested with Sam Griffiths. Built from leftover scaffolding board, The Bridge is designed to sit on walls that separate neighbours from each other and the street.

Distributed to people living on Tavistock Road in East London, The Bridge provided flexible opportunities for neighbours to meet, chat, play games and have a cuppa (there was also a street wide pizza night and market). You can read more about The Bridge, and what our plans for it are moving forward, on Sam’s site.

Framing our work on The Bridge and other projects is a manifesto we created together. Created while chatting about play’s role within design and change, it’s a list of positions we are attempting to weave into our collaborations. Each point includes what we're moving away from and what we’re moving towards. The manifesto is a work-in-progress. If you think we’re on the right lines, become a signatory and help us shape it.
