Fig 1.6 Pavel Kosyrev, Y3, Biomimetic Bus Station, Tottenham, conceptual ideogram. Challenging the apparent banalities of waiting for a bus, the building celebrates the behavioural quirks of passengers and marries them with fluctuations in local environmental conditions to create a slow moving yet highly tuned site-specific environment. Fig 1.7 – 1.8 Ellie Sampson, Y2, Sainsbury’s Community Centre, Hornsey, long section and front elevation. Anticipating the impact of a new supermarket on Hornsey Lane, the project imagines an alternative future for the site, where a section 106 agreement requires Sainsbury’s to provide onsite community facilities. The project explores a series of complex juxtapositions that might result from the merger. Fig 1.9 Isabel Ogden, Y3, Robotic Cancer Treatment Centre, Homerton, perspectival section.

cutting-edge surgical robots that reduce the physiological impact of invasive surgery. Conceived as a ‘carer’ and through the manipulation of different forms of light (gamma, x-ray, daylight) the building is strategically organised to speed up the process of recovery. Fig 1.10 David Flook, Y2, ELUTech, Stratford, axonometric. The East London University Technical College marries an existing Building and Crafts College with a new research facility for UCL. Exploring themes of displacement, copying, repetition and the uncanny, ELUTech is designed in two mirrored parts, where the plan of one building is replicated in the section of the other.
