7. Alexandra Road Park

2 November 2021

Neil Davidson will provide an introduction to the delicate restoration and reinvigoration of a modernist park at the renowned Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate in Camden. He will provide an insight into the discussions he had with the original Landscape Architect, Janet Jack, and review of her  drawings and specifications from the late 1970’s which helped better understand why certain design decisions had been made and where she would have done things differently with the benefit of hindsight or a different brief.

Neil Davidson is a landscape architect and partner of J & L Gibbons and founding Director of the social enterprise Landscape Learn. He is a Built Environment Expert Panel member at the Design Council, a member of the International Scientific Committee, Masters of Landscape, Libria, Rome and chair of trustees of the Bethnal Green Nature Reserve, host of the art and ecology project Phytology.  He is a lecturer on the MA in Landscape Architecture course at the Bartlett, UCL.
