Picture of Kensal House, taken soon after completion in 1937

This was one of those projects that just worked.  I was approached by the V&A to work with young people living in and around a progressive modernist housing block in North West London to explore the architecture of that time. Over three day-long workshops at the V&A and on site in Kensal House we looked at the politics and design styles prevalent at the time Kensal House was built (1937), and worked with the youth panel at the V&A to devise young person-led tours of the estate leading to a piece of site-specific theatre.  The young people I met as part of the project were an absolute dream, and as a 1930s obsessive I also felt really privileged to see inside one of the flats that still had its original fittings intact!
