Temporal Facades

Temporal Facades was selected by the London Architecture Biennale, the committee was made up from 19 panel members, including Peter Ackroyd, Paul Finch, Zaha Hadid and Rowan Moore. The work was shown for 10 days in Brewers Yard in Clerkenwell, in the offices of BDP Architects. The installation consisted of 12, 42 inch Plasma screens, arranged in the glass façade of an annex building in the middle of the square. The project focussed on the relationship between modern London’s dematerialised working practices, the banking industry typifying this, and the more physical spaces of the city. The locations of interest in the films were selected along the route of the biennale. This started in Southwark Cathedral, and ended in Kings Cross. The selected ‘Nodes’ were Borough Market, Tate Modern, St.Pauls Cathedral, Smithfield Market, Clerkenwell Green, and Kings Cross. All of these spaces celebrate their ‘physicality’
