The North Cambridgeshire Society of Architects are proud to host a talk by Director Alan McCartney, and architect John Fisher, from Glenn Howells Architects. They will introduce the Lakeside Activity Centre in Nene Park, Peterborough, and discuss what the sustainable landmark building will look like when work is complete.
Won through an invited design competition, Glenn Howells Architects’ design seeks to create a sustainable and memorable beacon for Nene Park. The bespoke building will include a 20 metre Olympic standard climbing wall, a children’s indoor play area, and a lakeside café.
The design celebrates the landscape and waterscape of Nene Park by offering visitors views of the lake. The form of the centre takes precedent from the geometry and materials of climbing and play, and forms an important catalyst for local community development, placemaking and sporting participation.
North Cambridgeshire Society of Architects (NCSA) covers practices and practitioners based in Fenland, Huntingdonshire, and Peterborough. If you would like to get more involved with your local branch, please contact your RIBA Member Support Manager Fiona Fowell.
