The Peckham Experiment
INSPIRATIONAL PROJECT

A project that involved, to some degree, using architecture to promote a more positive and healthy well being. Taking people who had not had much access/education to sport or a healthy lifestyle as the subjects.
The building, built in the early 1930′s was one of the first examples of how it was possible to use architecture to stimulate/encourage a more positive sense of well being in it’s users.
The building featured large windows to allow lots of light into big, high-ceilinged rooms, and with many open spaces – encouraging people to interact, without feeling claustrophobic.
These ideas were all with the intention to move away from traditional forms and ideas of what a hospital or health orientated building had tended to be like.
