We're delighted to announce that Chrisp Street On Air will be programming a special edition in association with New Perspectives: A Celebration at Balfron. On Saturday 21 June the recording studio at 11 Market Way in Chrisp Street Market will be open to the public to tell the story of the Chrisp Street on Air project.  A small exhibition will present photographs, film projections and audio about the project and whilst the celebrations and discussions at the Balfron Tower overlook Chrisp Street Market we will be broadcasting a special live architecture show from the Chrisp Street on Air shop. Expect discussions about the history of the Balfron Tower and interviews with a selection of the international architects who have been living in the tower as part of the British Council residency about their proposals for Poplar.
