For my third year
design thesis, I chose to
go back to my London
origins.
Elephant & Castle,
also known as “The
Elephant”, resides in
the heart of London
as a major road
junction within the
Borough of Southwark.
It has also leaped
into the forefront
of the architecture
scene, as the process
of gentrification is
redifining what it once
was. But, is this drastic
change benficial to all?
I want to explore
alterenative solutions,
and deconstruct
the gentrification
process that has
instilled a sense of
instability within my
society, providing an
architectural language
which will withstand
the test of time.
I’ve incorporated:
food, art, business,
family and a source of
ecological equilibrium.
I really wanted to focus
on providing residents
the necessary building
blocks to fabricate their
own environment.
