RIBA Forgotten Spaces 2013
The beautiful exhibition featured in dungeon area of Somerset house, designed by Studio Glowacka and designers Thomas Matthews, the layout compliments the nature of the exhibition, through the exploration of the hidden passageways, the lightwells and deadhouses. We are guided through via bright scaffolding and construction site structures displaying the work. With 26 propositions to renovate various areas of London's disused and abandoned spaces into public attractions for everyone to enjoy - A beautiful collections of ideas showcasing various practices ability to think outside the box and be really creative.
My favourite piece by far was the well deserved second prize winner, aquadocks - a swimming pool and spa proposal for the Royal Docks area. The proposal is highly spatial and sensory which can be seen through the installation found at Somerset house. Through the installation and the beautiful visualisations you get a clear sense of the intended atmosphere within the proposal.
