Architecture Old Manor Park Library Romford Road, London Opens October A Grade II listed Carnegie building in East London, left vacant for three years, is now being transformed by architects Nicholas Lobo Brennan and Astrid Smitham into a publicly accessible centre incorporating artist studios and meeting spaces. It will also be home to Rabbits Road Institute, a new space designed by artists Ruth Beale and Amy Feneck, with the ambition of exploring economics creatively to investigate political, social and cultural issues. Located in an area that is significantly lacking in cultural engagement, it is hoped that
the reimagined space, which has been inspired by The Free Library Movement of the mid-Victorian period, will have a transformative effect for the local community. The project is delivered in partnership by Create London, Bow Arts and Newham Council.
