London 2012 blog

The London 2012 design review sessions are an opportunity for The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) and Design for London to advise the ODA and their design teams on the quality, sustainability and legacy of the designs for the Games. This month we had the chance to discuss the latest key venues with a series of design review sessions at the 2012 offices.

The Games will put London’s architecture and landscape design in the world’s spotlight in 2012 so it’s important we create buildings and public spaces of great and lasting quality. The design review sessions were a great chance to see how the designs are developing for key 2012 venues and an opportunity for our expert panel members to give constructive feedback on the latest plans.

CABE and Design for London play an important role in scrutinising the venues and infrastructure as they take shape and have so far proved very effective in supporting the ODA to achieve their aspirations for design quality. We look forward to continuing to work with the ODA on the road to 2012.
