guerrilla lighting hits streatham…
The London Borough of Lambeth held a Guerrilla Lighting event on Tuesday 13th December 2011 in Streatham as part of their Christmas season of events.
The reason behind the event was to illuminate a few of the architectural highlights in the area with a long term plan that the images could help gain funding for one of the sites to be lit permanently. Mostly one long high street with some famous art deco gems, the event went off the main route (in true guerrilla style) and focussed on some unknown buildings.
The route started with the Victorian Waterworks, followed by the memorial gardens, St Leonard’s Church and finished with the library.
The church was a project for the students of the Space and Architecture Course at Rose Bruford College and the students involved were team leaders on the other sites showing inhabitants of Streatham how to be an inner city Guerrilla.
