I was very glad to have been able to hear the talk by Dan Pearson (landscape) and Mary Duggan (architect) on their joint plans for Lambeth Green next to the Garden Museum.  I was involved in the second stage of the architectural selection.  Two things struck me: how much the plans had evolved since the competition through discussion and collaboration, so that the scheme feels more organic and less purely architectural, a symbiosis of walls and planting and garden sheds/pavilions; the second was how large the space now seems between the church and the roundabout and how much will be achieved by a thoughtful intervention into an otherwise somewhat arid area of tower blocks, the road, and the fortified, medieval entrance gate of Lambeth Palace.
