Emporium of the Ordinary: The Butcher, The Baker, The Candlestick Maker THE STUDIO EXPLORES the frisson between production and community in a city, through the lens of the Great Guilds of London. Students reimagined the historic ‘Pageant Wagon’ – a mobile showcase and performance platform for a given Guild – before developing their Guildhall as a new typology of display, exchange, production, living and learning in response to a studied local social, ecological and physical context.
Wunderkammer: House for a Collector THIS BRIEF FOCUSED on the design of a house for a specific collector and their collection. Starting with the construction of a 1:1 Wunderkammer for real items of the collection, the students explored themes of display, curation, materiality and craft. Taking a lead from these pieces, site observations, research and conceptual making, the students developed a proposal for a building which housed both their client and collection, as well as inviting the community of Bethnal Green inside to engage in considered programmes and activities.
Circular Communities THE BRIEF ASKED students to design a building in response to their explorations around communities and the circular economy within Bethnal Green. An intense programme of talks and site visits with community and action groups, alongside research around ideas of waste material being utilised as a valued resource, prepared the students to produce a building design with a socially circular response that operates as an urban connector and builder of communities. Sociopolitical demographics, public and private placement, material detail and re-appropriation with the avoidance of virgin source material were all underpinning criteria for each of the students’ proposals.
