A model estate - architectural model maker creates a mirrored version of Basterfield House

Architectural modelmaker Maz Weineck has created a model of Basterfield House as a fundraiser for charity Article 25. Maz says, 'This year's theme for humanitarian architecture charity Article 25's 10x10 auction is reflections. I wanted to have some fun with the theme and experiment with using mirror within my art. I decided to use Basterfield House as inspiration after going on a tour of the Golden Lane estate and being shown one the building’s flats as part of Open house festival. I like the idea of making artwork celebrating iconic architecture that is also architecture that means a lot to people. Whilst walking around the estate it was clear how much of a community there was there and how important the development was for the residents.

I would be very happy to share with you my experiences of mental illness, where I have been hospitalised, and I live in the City.  The important issue is that much of such suffering could have been avoided if some Council officers had proper training and understanding of how to deal with those residents who suffer from this terrible condition, and make 'reasonable adjustments' when dealing with them,.  

I will contact you in due course.  Thank you for your post. 

Hi Maria

Thank you for your response, it's really good to hear that you would be happy to share your experience with the Mental Health Voice team. Please can you contact me on  07934298720/ bonnie@advocacyproject.org.uk so that we can arrange a time for you to meet with two members of the team. We will also be circulating an online questionnaire within the next week if you would prefer to share your experience that way.

Kind regards,

Bonnie

Thank you Bonnie

I will certainly be contacting you very soon.  I want to avoid anyone else suffering in the way I have been subjected to, and have mental health recognised as being very serious, instead of being told you simply have 'issues', by those who are not medically trained, or have experience in knowing how to respond to people who are ill.  

Hello Bonnie.  Have sent you my contact details so we can meet and discuss my illness, and hopefully find a way forward so no other person has to suffer the ignorance and lack of compassion, and failure to make 'reasonable adjustments', which is illegal, that I have had to endure from some City of London officers.
