Accordian by Fraher Architects and O-Negative
A proposal for a temporary bicycle store and wash facilities, that inhabits lost space sitting behind London railway’s retaining walls.

Acupunkture by Luis Alberto Torres
This proposal is for a more comprehensive intervention that connects, instead of isolates, a series of forgotten spaces across the city. A direct approach to urban acupuncture - a limited intervention, which could have a ripple effect beyond its particular locale.

Argo Eclipse by Claudius Fanusie
a proposal for allotment gardents on top of an existing row of garages.

Arts Den by Anushree Choudhury, Cardiff University
Situated at Bishopsgate Goods Yard, Artist’s Den provides a unique platform to the artist of various skills, regardless of the financial aspect, to showcase their art, impart their skills to willing students and sell their artworks.

Ascending The Void by Nottingham University/ Year 2/ Unit 3 (Eleni Triantafyllidi, Matt Williams)
This project proposes two inhabitable urban vegetation structures, located at two derelict corners on Great Eastern Street. These aim to provide a retreat from the realities of hectic London life, and offer as escape into the realm of fantasy.
