Jestico + Whiles

This was an incredibly special collaboration with Jestico + Whiles and audio producer Flo Lines and was the winner of the AJ100 Communications initiative of the year award. The project was a resident-led retrospective, building up a portrait of life today in Greenwich Millennial Village.

What made this film so special, was that it wasn’t about Architecture. The emphasis was on collecting a rich variety of experiences from current residents and people working in the area, discussing local culture, food and community. And this brought an authenticity to their words.

The short film drew special plaudits from the Architects Journal for its "fluidly elegant construction and sympathetic treatment of its subjects. By encouraging people to speak for themselves and valorising real lives and experiences, it persuasively showed how communities are more than an assortment of buildings."
