Part W’s The Women's Work: London Map

The East Street Exchange has been featured in Part W’s The Women's Work: London Map – the first in a map series that shines a spotlight on female-led design, launching as a celebration on International Women’s Day.

The map celebrates the intersectional and gender-diverse work of architects, engineers, builders, clients, landscape designers, campaigners and activists. The project seeks to address the fact that throughout history, women’s contributions to the built environment has not been granted equal recognition to that of men. Female-centred work has been missed out of publications, educational resources and so often is not equitably promoted by architectural foundations and design institutes.

The East Street Exchange was a female-led project that was delivered in 2018 and involved the refurbishment and extension of a vital community asset in Walworth to allow the library to host a flexible range of new uses and provide better provision for its existing users.
