The short movie Robots of Brixton was produced as part of Kibwe Tavares’ work on an architecture course. It makes use of collage-style imagery to show new construction overlaid onto existing buildings.
ROBOTS OF BRIXTON Robots of Brixton by Kibwe Tavares explores the daily life of robots inhabiting Brixton. Because of their presence, the skyline has been changed, with new housing grafted onto the existing buildings to create new living spaces. This creation of new housing in response to population change is evident in the architecture of many cities in the UK. For example, the Industrial Revolution which saw huge migration of people from the countryside to the city led to the rapid construction of row housing and terraces, often providing a small amount of space for their inhabitants.
