Art Fusion:

Studio Work

The building reflects the evolving dynamic of Stratford, East London. It is designed to be respectful to its surroundings and to attract people to the site with activities related to arts, culture, and leisure.

Local Context:

There is a complexity of different layers that are analysed in the design. From the public space, the in front of the Gallery, the characteristic factories, and the importance of the high street.

Within a wider environmental context, the project reacts with the surrounding landscape. The proposal incorporate itself with the local town’s centre history, creating a dialogue between both.
