BDP Pattern

On Tuesday BDP Pattern had the privilege of being invited on a tour around Tynecastle Park. It was great to learn all about the history of Hearts FC and see how the stadium evolved alongside the club's 150 year development. Initiatives such as the Maroon Mile project demonstrate the importance in preserving the history and memories of fans, keeping the club well integrated within the local community. Massive thank you to Rob Stack, Derek, Karen, Lianne, Ann and the rest of the team at Hearts FC for putting on a great event. Heart of Midlothian FC BDP (Building Design Partnership Ltd)

Recently, the BDP (Building Design Partnership Ltd) London studio hosted an Empathy Workshop, during which attendees experienced the studio environment using wheelchairs, crutches, and custom suits simulating various abilities throughout life. Led by Joanna Asia Grzybowska of Mycelium Studio, the workshop aimed to help the attendees foster a deeper empathy and understanding of diverse mobility needs and the impact that good design can have on people who are impacted by them. At BDP Pattern, we are committed to incorporating inclusive design into the sports and event venues that we create. This workshop reinforced our dedication to making our venues more accessible and welcoming to all. It reminded us of the profound impact our designs can have on people's lives and the importance of diverse perspectives. We're excited to apply these insights as we continue to innovate and create spaces that embrace the diversity of our communities. #InclusiveDesign #SportsArchitecture
