Byker, United Kingdom
The Byker Estate, designed by a team led by Ralph Erskine, is an internationally-renowned example of mass social housing filled with bright colours and wooden panelling, sheltered by a huge 'Wall'. Join us as we explore the estate and learn about its history, the test-bed Pilot Scheme section and see how it was built to foster a community.
In this guided walk, Euan Lynn will provide unique insights and historical context to Byker's past and present, as well as offering some practical photographic advice to help you document the experience – whether you're using an iPhone or film.
