Day 15 in the LoveEaston House - Prue Chiles visits the housemates!
10.30 am - meeting with Jonathan Platt, an architect for GLP. He brings energy and sustainability expertise to the table and we quizz him on relevant factors affecting our potential plans.
12.00 am - Prue Chiles and one ProjectEaston member arrive, appropriately enough, in the University's hybrid Prius.
13.00pm - Meeting with Jonathan wraps up and we meet with Geoff a senior Architect who works as a community engagement adviser. Prue, the housemates and Geoff have a very enlightening conversation on the difficulties of practicing in a community-led fashion within normative architectural practice. He expresses desire to attend the Architecture Centre exhibition on the 4th November and we promise to send him an invite.
14.00pm - The housemates and Shanks give Prue a mini tour of Easton. Discussions take place around possible concepts for future planning initiatives.
Lunch!
15.30pm - Meeting back at the cafe on the moves of the LoveEaston housemates over the next three weeks. Decide that there is a lot to do, but that we are in a good position and our plans are given a go ahead.
Evening - Visit Mr. Wolf's for dinner and live music. Plenty of skanking ensues.

About Us
- ProjectLoveEaston
- Local residents and architects have taken the initiative to find out what their community wants during a month-long intensive consultation this October. The aim is to create a shared vision for Easton’s future which will then be developed into a strategic, community-led regeneration document that reflects local people’s aspirations. This urban regeneration document will clearly set out residents’ visions and will not only give the community more power at the planning stage but will also be invaluable for developers and the local authority. The ProjectEaston team is based out of the LoveEaston cafe on Stapleton Rd for the duration of the project and the outcomes will be exhibited at the Bristol Architecture Centre from the 3rd November. Come along!
