The Continuous Picnic was a spatial installation and public event sited in Bloomsbury, Central London, and developed as part of London Festival of Architecture 2008. It was set up as an arts-based urban design celebrating open urban space and local food production.
At the same time, it helped us to test and disseminate the qualitative and quantifiable aspects of the urban design concept Continuous Productive Urban Landscapes and to initiate top-down (municipal) and bottom-up (citizen) dialogue and collaboration in the generation of long-term strategic urban development plans.
