UNIT H: CULTURAL GEOMETRIES

London Calling...

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, we are now leaving the sunny climes of Portugal and we shall shortly be arriving in London where the temperature is 3 degrees Celsius and wet.
Be sure to wrap up warm on any planned expeditions.

Find attached a link to the site map of the earl's court re-development. LINK
As discussed today, the map has 23 clearly defined boundaries which straddle the periphery of the redevelopment as well as an area within the development zone. You must pick a site that relates to your areas of investigation from P02. 1 site per student.
You will be asked to confirm which site you have chosen at Thursday's pin-up.....

....and before you head into town a couple of videos to inspire you:



London Bus Tour from moritz oberholzer on Vimeo.

....and finally an interesting talk from Simon Withers of Architecture Diploma Unit 15 at the University of Greenwich. About working with Vivienne Westwood and Malcom Mclaren at their renowned World's End shop in west London, 16th Century armour, the Kelly Gang, and making universes out of one's studio.
