In looking at the future development of Smithfield Market, I have been pointed in the direction of a report Terry Farrell did a while back which retains its validity now that the Market traders may move out: that it should retain its identity as a mixed use, cultural project, part of a Culture Mile, rather than be treated as a site for large-scale commercial development.
It’s into this context that the RIBA Drawings Collection might fit, alongside the new London Museum.

Smithfield Market developers would do well to follow the examples of the Fruitmarket spaces in Edinburgh and Glasgow, both of whom are thriving and which serves support international, local and community projects in equal measure.
I’ve been very lucky to perform in both recently.
