As part of London Festival of Architecture and Antiuniversity Now Festival, Degenerate Space present a Site-Specific performance event on Cressingham Gardens.

 

Designed by Ted Hollamby, municipal architect for Lambeth in the late 1960s, Cressingham Gardens is a visionary residential estate, which incorporates Hollamby’s radical ideas of community, design and urban living. 

 

This ideology has been under threat since 2012, when Lambeth council voted to demolish the estate.  

 

Through image, immersive theatre, and the recorded testimonies of residents, The Smallness Inside The Bigness explores the founding ideas of Cressingham Gardens, how these are played out in the present realities of the estate, and why they are under threat.
