located in south london, ‘pop brixton’ has been conceived as a community campus for local startups and small businesses. the project, which has been designed by carl turner architects, will provide the region with new public space alongside live/work units and retail outlets. the pop-up campus is built from low-cost, low-energy shipping containers, with a focus on sustainability and efficiency. the development is due for completion in spring 2015.
