10 years of Design Review in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park – looking back and looking forward

The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and its immediate neighbourhoods have benefited from over 10 years of design scrutiny through the Quality Review Panel (QRP); this is one of the longest running in the UK.

This event will discuss how design review and other tools have been developed in this area, what have been the successes and how other organisations can use these to actively steer towards a quality built environment.

Two case studies will be used, Here East and Fish Island Village, from the perspectives of the applicant, design team and QRP members. This will be supported by wider views from the London Legacy Development Corporation, Frame Projects and other parties. Speakers include: -

Hari Phillips - QRP Chair / Bell Phillips
Peter Studdert - Previous QRP Chair / Peter Studdert Planning
Julia Barfield - QRP Panel Member / Marks Barfield
Gavin Poole - CEO Here East
Nick Gaskell - Hawkins Brown
Ken Okonkwo - Haworth Tompkins
Deborah Denner - Frame Projects
Sara Dawes, Anne Ogundiya and Peter Maxwell - London Legacy Development Corporation

The evening will be a mixture of presentations and panel discussion followed by a networking event.
