Fig. 12.5 Xuhong Zheng, Y4, Orchestration of light, shadows and politics at the New City Hall. A set of new civic halls across the city for an independent London, proposing an architecture that exploits the temporality of natural light to determine how politics and activities occur within different spaces. Fig. 12.6 Emma Clinton, Y4, The Cloth House. The project is interested in the relationship between body and garment as an allegory for the built environment. The ‘completed’ building – or garment – is manipulated, adapted and transplanted by the dweller. Fig. 12.7 Rodolfo Rodriguez, Y4, The station will accommodate the flow of passengers going to and coming from London to work, as well supply destinations with the necessary fuel to service the station building. The programme of the infrastructure is based around the meteorological
calendar and the cycle of the seasons. Fig. 12.8 Jason Coe, Y4, A Bell Foundry for New Jerusalem: A Participatory Democracy for London is realised through the implementation of an aural communication network of bells and a new civic architecture for London. Fig. 12.9 Alastair King, Y4, Tower Hill Community: a building for a community of construction workers, critiquing the banal architecture of modern London with an architecture informed by ‘A Pattern Language’. Fig. 12.10 Daniel Leon Fenster, Y4, As disparate cultures collide, picturesque ornament is rescued from the wreckage of bland multiculturalism. Wren’s heavenly domes are borrowed by Chinese companies and inverted to become a descent into glorious debauchery and frivolity.
