Suzy Wrack: The House I Grew Up In
Manage episode 356583790 series 1301270
Football writer Suzy Wrack meets with Joanne Marsden to share their stories of growing up on council estates.
Suzy grew up in on an estate in north east London, while Joanne was born on Park Hill estate in Sheffield; the council block inspired by the French architect Le Corbusier, who designed high-rises with community in mind. They discuss his idea of 'streets in the sky' - landings wide enough for milk floats to drive past high in the air and rows of shops within the estate. Together, they talk about how their experiences shaped their lives and interests in architecture and community - and how the design of spaces and buildings impacts us.
Produced by Caitlin Hobbs for BBC Audio in Bristol.
