Students at all levels across the Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment are invited to come together and watch two short films about the Robin Hood Estate in Poplar, East London, followed by an inter-disciplinary online discussion of the area.

There’s no need to watch or read anything beforehand, and the discussion will be a relatively informal exchange of views between students studying the various disciplines taught in The Bartlett.

The two films are:

John Rogers: Robin Hood Gardens and Poplar High Street

Robin Hood Gardens: Concrete Bungle?

We can expect the conversation to look at architecture, upkeep and maintenance, and the benefits and downsides of urban regeneration. Students from across the Bartlett Faculty will be able to make valuable contributions to the discussion.

Feel free to contact the organiser, Nishat Tasnim, n.tasnim@ucl.ac.uk, with any feedback or questions, and we will be happy to help.
