The Grid Project Home A new photographic Grid Project was launched in November 2022 and was carried out in Birmingham and Halifax in 2023.

This project, In Search of Urban Happiness, used different methods to previous projects and, along with photographers, work from writers and poets was welcomed.

The project was based on Kevin Lynch's research at MIT.


EXHIBITIONS

The Halifax project will be exhibited in The Crossley Gallery at Dean Clough during 2024.

The Birmingham project will be exhibited in Birmingham from January 2025.

Further details to follow.


"A good environmental image gives its possessor an important sense of emotional security."

"A legible city would be one whose districts or landmarks or pathways are easily identifiable and are easily grouped into an overall pattern."

Kevin Lynch, The Image of the City (1960)
