Segal Method
I'm looking at the Segal method to produce a really low-impact, inexpensive, environmentally advanced (e.g. solar panels on sloping roofs) series of buildings around a proposed lido. Do you know if anyone else has used the method for anything other than housing? We need changing rooms, a cafe, probably some sort of plant room. I'm pretty confident I could design it but it would help persuade the local authority if there are existing examples. Any help/advice would be gratefully received. Thank you.

Hi Judith
I suggest you contact the others (eg Lewisham, Brighton) who have built using Segal.
I am sure the method can be adapted to suit your needs. I'm curious why you need to persuade the local authority - are they funding?
