Her Majesty’s Prison Service is disposing of its inner city gaols, unlocking these sites for redevelopment. Our practice is located on the same road as the listed Pentonville Prison, and we want to contribute to the debate about its future.
Unlocking Pentonville aims to imagine a radical new vision for this area of Caledonian Road by producing a spatial, social and economic proposition for the prison site. Through an exhibition and a weekend of public debates and workshops that took place during the London Festival of Architecture, we invited the public and experts to participate in these discussions. Excerpts from these discussions can be listened to here.
