Building Construction Age Diversity to Analyse Speed of Turnover





First lunchtime PhD mini-talk for 2019, was given by Polly Hudson in the CASA Student Room. Polly’s thesis is titled “Using Building Construction Age Diversity to Analyse Speed of Turnover, to Improve Resilience in London’s Building Stock"; in which she has mapped out a fair bit of London based on their age.

More recently though, she has been working on a spinoff of her work called Colouring London in an open platform for building attribute data. In the seminar, Polly was keen to share her progress on Colouring London, and how CASA can help contribute through interacting with it. 

Polly designed the Building of Bath Museum in 1992  and founded The Building Exploratory charitable trust ( a model for hands -on knowledge transfer centres about the built environment)  in 1996 .She began to design community oriented GIS interfaces in collaboration with Hackney's crime mapping department and also met and collaborated with Mike and Andy.
