What does it take to transform underused spaces into places that truly create opportunities for diverse communities and remain sustainable in the long term?
Join Turner Works, XP Surveys and YADA at Hackney Bridge for an evening exploring how creative thinking, adaptive design, and long-term partnerships can unlock the potential of overlooked sites.
Take a behind-the-scenes tour of Turner Works Hackney Bridge studios and network with other young architects and developers alongside Hackney’s canal.
Turner Works and Hackney Bridge
Turner Works have imagined and delivered five light and playful steel-framed buildings on Hackney's canal edge, creating a creative campus for makers, studios, events, and a market. Designed for a 12-year stay on this site, the buildings are constructed for disassembly, allowing every component to be moved, reused, or recycled. Hackney Bridge delivers vibrant, low-cost space rooted in local entrepreneurship, creativity, and community.
XP Surveys
Architects and Developers need to start their design process quickly and with accurate site data that's captured and provided in CAD/BIM format. XP Surveys help architects with measured building, topographical, drone, and utilities surveys, and even 360 virtual walkthroughs of the built environment . We know 'time is money' in this industry so have built a front end quoting tool using AI and property data to provide quotes within minutes, and can be on site within 24 hours, ensuring architects can start their design process as fast as possible.
YADA
YADA is a vibrant networking community that connects architects and developers under 35, providing regular opportunities to build relationships, share insights, and collaborate on shaping the future of the industry.
