Corridor of the Urban Vestige

New developpment plans in Hackney are disclosed as planning of commodity whereby appeared/happened city is overwritten.  Being criticism towards the capital driven urban tabula rasa, the project speculates new typology of infrastructural linkage, as water circulation system, suturing urban fragments vestiges into urban chronicle collage of the site.  In the sequence of the corridor, pool hall of Haggerston Bath,  water purification/decontamination machinery and series of water/bathing spaces at each purification process are exposed as new urban interior.

Memories regarding the experience of urban space was superimposed on the city model collaged from sampled urban components. A theatre bricolaged from sampled urban components.  Stages are juxtaposed with urban spaces in one building.  An hommage to Peter Brook and Syuji Terayama.1 Canal water sluice channel
