Industri[us]

12 July 2013

Fluid’s meanwhile project in Canning Town for the London 2012 Olympics and Mayor’s Royal Docks competition is shortlisted for the NLA Architecture Awards 2013.

Industri[us]is an initiative set up in 2011 by Fluid and a number of collaborators. It is about helping communities to get back on their feet and grow. It uses vacant sites to bring about positive longer-term changes: social, economic and environmental through a short term set of activities and events.

As well as setting out to revalue waste materials, Industri[us] places the provision of training opportunities to help people into employment and connecting communities at the centre of its operations
