LONDON MUTATION RESEARCH

Group work Theme - Time We explored mutation of London with the theme of time.

The aim was to identify the causes of mutation and see how London as a city mutated in response throughout time.

The study was divided into themes of - Networks & wealth, Crisis & Response, Growth & Containment, Innovation & Progress and Sprawl & Segregation.

Output was in the form of a drama and a model sewed with the threads of time.

PATCH WORK CITY

Symbiotic city

It is a mushroom city which grows and adaps to environment and forms symbiosis with nature.

The entire city is elevated from ground which is left for nature. Communitites are formed in the sky around cores of vertical structure where all supporting amenities of the city are housed. Different mushroom shades are connected by skyways.

All services and vehicular transport run underground.

The ground is left for the use of flora and founa where human beings use the space in the sky.
