Wembley Project (March 2006)
Client: Junction retail parks
Invited to submit a proposal for the entrance to a new retail park being built next to Wembley Stadium.

Client: George Wimpey Homes
Invited to submit a proposal and subsequently awarded the commission to produce a piece for a new public square in Peckham, London.

George Wimpey, Evolution Project
The sculptor William Lasdun was commissioned to produce a major sculptural work at the 'Evolution Project' in Peckham for the developer George Wimpey.
Client: George Wimpey South East Thames
Artist: William Lasdun
Local Authority: Southwark, London
Plan Art Projects was involved in developing a public art strategy at the 'Evolution' Development in the heart of Peckham. This is a major mixed-use residential project and a cornerstone of the regeneration of Peckham. The site for the public art was 'New London Square', a public square surrounded by flats and houses.
A key part of the strategy was making sure local people were involved in the discussion and debate about what form the public art strategy could take. As a result, focus groups were set up with local residents and children at the Damilola Taylor community centre.
The results reflected a desire for a work that would encourage people to meet and socialise so as to help build community spirit. Also, if was felt important that the work should avoid 'token gestures' to any one ethnic group which could be interpreted as too narrow.
The proposal by William Lasdun offered an elegant solution that responded well to their needs. The sculpture, sited in the centre of the square, provides a place for people to meet and, by taking an organic, abstract form it does not echo any particular ethnic culture.

RSCH Corridor & Ceiling Design - Block B (2003)
Client: Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton
The brief for this project was to transform a long and gloomy corridor within the hospital complex into a more interesting place and also to provide external seating. The proposal for the walls of the corridor was to hang back-lit coloured photo electron micrograph images of parts of the human body on the walls and create a large colourful mural at the end of the wall. The design for the ceiling is inspired by blood vessels. See also Courtyard Design.
