LEGACY NOW 5 was co-organised by the Architecture Foundation who also organised a 2 day workshop session at the Architecture foundation called LEGACY PLUS. public works was invited to contribute to the LEGACY NOW event.
The main focus for both events was the issue of temporary use - an agenda heavily promoted by the LDA.
