Future Proofing 02: Stuart Lipton, Richard Rogers, Chris Wise and Malcolm Smith

Future-Proofing is the second book in a series of the Edward Bass Fellowship in Architecture with developer Stuart Lipton of Stanhope; architect and Davenport Visiting Professors Lord Richard Rogers; Chris Wise of Expedition Engineering; and Malcolm Smith of Arup. The studio offered the students the opportunity to build a contemporary urban environment in Stratford City in East London, the site of the 2012 Olympics, as a new community around a new transit hub. The students were encouraged to provide environmental sustainable development in the master planning and individual building designs, as well as solutions for a future-proofing strategy of a minimum of 100 years, showing a robust thought process for sustainability and vital urban design.
