STORYBOARD TILES- COMMERCIAL STREET

MAKE YOUR SELECTION

Briefing: Commercial Street... As the name implies, Commercial Street has historically been dominated by industrial and commercial activity. It is on the City fringes, and much industry that was seen as too noisome for the City was once exiled to this areas. However, since the early 1990s the street has grown increasingly more fashionable.

The southern section was created in 1843-5 as part of a slum clearance programme, and to connect the Whitechapel thoroughfare with Spitalfields Market.

It was laid out by the architect and planner Sir James Pennethorne along the approximate line of former Essex Street, Rose Lane and Red Lion Street.

The extension north from the market, to the Eastern Counties Railway's Bishopsgate terminus and to Shoreditch High Street, was made in 1849-57 and opened in 1858.

3 camera zooms to site showing briefly the commercial/ corporate area of Spitalfields

Once Great Eastern Street had been laid out further north in 1872-6, creating a continuation of the route towards Old Street and the City Road, did Commercial Street really begin to succeed as what had always been Pennethorne's aim, an artery allowing traffic to bypass the City of London.

VIEW PLAY

Brick Lane Brick Lane itself is a long, gently winding street running from north to south. There are a few defining landmarks (see below) – the corner building of 125 Brick Lane in the northern section, the giant chimney, the crossover bridge, and the setted and railed courtyard to the Brewery in the central section, and the mosque and Gothic revival school behind railings in the southern section. Its character is created by a general consistency of height and architecture, especially amongst the terraces, and a rich, fine-grain mix of land uses. In the southern part of Brick Lane, the buildings are predominantly 3 storeys, creating a consistent roof line and street enclosure. In the central section, around the Brewery and Goodsyard, and in the northern section, the buildings are generally 3-4 storeys. Lane is predominantly retail shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes at ground floor level, with offices, storage and residential use above. There is a cluster of restaurants between Fournier Street and Woodseer Street, and the Brewery now contains cultural venues, art galleries, restaurants, nightclubs, start-up spaces and retail shops. There are many clothing shops scattered along the route, and a small cluster of leather clothes shops and internet cafes at the northern end of Brick Lane at Bethnal Green Road.

The Brick Lane and Fournier Street Conservation Area was designated in July 1969 as ‘Fournier Street’. It was extended in 1978 and again in 1998, when its name was changed to reflect Brick Lane’s contribution to the character of the area. It is one of the largest in Tower Hamlets, It contains some of the most architecturally and historically significant buildings and places in the Borough, including Christ Church Spitalfields, designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, and the exceptional group of 18th century houses around Fournier Street. Listed Buildings in the Conservation Area: Grade I: Christ Church (including gatepiers and gates to verger’s yard). Grade II*: Christchurch Rectory, 2 Fournier Street and railings, 4 Fournier Street and railings, Great Synagogue, Fournier Street (now the Great Mosque), 19 Princelet Street, Director’s House, Truman’s Brewery, 91 Brick Lane. Grade II: 10 – 48 Fashion Street, Drinking Fountain (in the boundary wall of Christ Church Churchyard), Commercial Street, Cattle and Horse Drinking Trough (on pavement in front of Drinking Fountain), Commercial Street, 5 Bollards (on the pavement in front of Christ Church Churchyard), Commercial Street, Christ Church Primary School and attached railings, 57 Brick Lane, 6 Fournier Street and railings, etc

the areas that are of interest are the Commercial Street, Fournier Street and Brick Lane with information panels to give description of site

TOWER HAMLETS- Spitalfields & Bangla Town

SITE: Commercial Street- Brick lane

Spitalfields is an area within the borough of Tower Hamlets, in the East End of London, near to Liverpool Street station and Brick Lane. The area straddles Commercial Street and is home to many markets, including the historic Old Spitalfields Market, founded in the 17th century, Sunday UpMarket, and the various other Brick Lane Markets on Brick Lane and Cheshire Street.. Banglatown was established in recognition of the large Bangladeshi community living in and around Brick Lane

Our area of interest is the region around Christ Church: Commercial Street and Brick Lane going through Fournier Street. This area is home to various historical buildings such as, the Christ Church itself, Old Spitalfields Market, Ten Bells Pub on Commercial Street side, the rectory on Fournier street designed by Hawksmoor, the architect and the mosque [previously a Huguenot Chapel, methodist Church and later converted to a Jewish Synagogue] on Brick Lane.

Brick Lane COMMERCIAL STREET Commercial Street is a road in Spitalfields that runs north to south from Shoreditch High Street to Whitechapel High Street through the East End district of Spitalfields. As the name implies, Commercial Street has historically been dominated by industrial and commercial activity. It is on the City fringes, and much industry that was seen as too noisome for the City was once exiled to such areas as this. However, since the early 1990s the street has grown increasingly more fashionable

Brick Lane, is one of the most popular areas in London, mostly known for its assortments of cheap curry houses. Brick Lane existed since the 1550s and was originally a field path in open countryside well outside the walls of the City of London, and to the east of the boundary of the Priory of St Mary Spital which gave Spitalfields its name. is a street that runs from Swanfield Street in the northern part of Bethnal Green, crosses Bethnal Green Road, passes through Spitalfields and is linked to Whitechapel High Street to the south by the short stretch of Osborn Street. Today, it is the heart of the city's Bangladeshi-Sylheti community and is known to some as Banglatown.

Until the late twentieth century, the street was heavily dominated by the activities of Spitalfields wholesale fruit and vegetable market, and by outlets for the 'rag trade' (the wholesale clothing and textile trade). Since the mid-1970s, however, the area has been increasingly subject to a process of gradual gentrification. In part, this reflects the changing character of Spitalfields more generally, but in Commercial Street in particular it was stimulated by the departure of the market in 1991 (and subsequent redevelopment of its buildings), the arrival of a number of private residential developments (especially at the northern end of the street), and the introduction of some modest traffic-calming measures. Many of the commercial units in the street are now occupied by fashionable clothing shops or restaurants..

Brick Lane was formerly called Whitechapel Lane but derives its current name from former brick and tile manufacture, using the local brick earth deposits, that began in the 15th century. By the 17th century, the street was being built up from the south. Successive waves of immigration began with Huguenot refugees spreading from Spitalfields, where the master weavers were based, in the 17th century. They were followed by Irish, Ashkenazi Jews and, in the last century, Bangladeshis. The area became a centre for weaving, tailoring and the clothing industry, due to the abundance of semi- and unskilled immigrant labour. Brewing came to Brick Lane before 1680, with water drawn from deep wells. One brewer was Joseph Truman, first recorded in 1683. His family, particularly Benjamin Truman, went on to establish the sizable Black Eagle Brewery on Brick Lane.

The street is home to some historical buildings, notably, Christ Church, the Old Spitalfields Market and the Ten Bells pub [connections to Jack the Ripper] and nearest stations are Liverpool Street on the west, Shoreditch High Street north of the street and Algate East on the south.

Brick Lane is world famous for its graffiti, which features artists such as Banksy, Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Face and Ben Eine. The street has some historical buildings such as the Jamme Masjid or Great London Mosque at the end of Fournier Street and the Truman Brewery . The nearest tube station is currently Aldgate East. A campaign has been launched to change the name of the station to "Brick Lane" by 2012, but this has no official support.

OLD SPITALFIELDS MARKET Old Spitalfields Market is a covered market in Spitalfields, just outside the City of London. It is in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. There has been a market on the site since 1638 when Charles I of England gave a licence for flesh, fowl and roots to be sold on Spittle Fields which was then a rural area on the eastern outskirts of London. After the rights to a market had seemingly lapsed during the time of the Commonwealth, the market was refounded in 1682 by Charles II in order to feed the burgeoning population of a new suburb of London. Market buildings were sited on the rectangular patch of open ground which retained the name Spittle Fields: demarcated by Crispin Street to the west, Lamb Street to the north, Red Lion Street (later subsumed into Commercial Street) to the east and Paternoster Row (later known as Brushfield Street) to the south. The existing buildings were built in 1887 to service a wholesale market, owned by the City of London Corporation. Spitalfields Market was extended westward to Steward Street in 1926, destroying the northern extensions of Crispin Street and Gun Street in the process. The original wholesale fruit and vegetable market moved to New Spitalfields Market in 1991. Being at the centre of a revival in the area, the eastern end of Spitalfields retained its old charm in the Horner Square and Horner Buildings, which are Grade II listed buildings. These market buildings were designed by George Sherrin for the last private owner of the fruit and vegetable market, Robert Horner and built between 1885 and 1893. The original Victorian market buildings and the Market Hall and roof have been restored and Old Spitalfields Market is now one of London's top markets. The market square of Old Spitalfields Market is a popular fashion, food, vintage and general market, open seven days a week, but is particularly lively on Sundays. In the late 20th century, there was a dispute between the owners, the City of London Corporation and Spitalfields residents about the redevelopment of the 1926 market extension at the western end. The corporation won, and now a Norman Foster designed office block surrounds the western end of the site, after two thirds of the historic market were rebuilt to include restaurants, shops and a large award winning indoor arts and crafts market, called the Traders Market. The Gun (a public house situated to the south of the market buildings) recalls Tudor times, when the Old Artillery Ground in this area was used by the Honourable Artillery Company to practice with cross-bow, and later guns and artillery pieces. At the east end, and on the other side of Commercial Street is Christ Church, Spitalfields, a large Nicholas Hawksmoor church. In January 2011 Old Spitalfields Market received the award "Best Private Market" by NABMA, the National Association of British Market Authorities.

TEN BELLS PUB The Ten Bells is a Victorian public house at the corner of Commercial Street and Fournier Street in Spitalfields in the East End of London. It is notable for its association with two victims of Jack the Ripper; Annie Chapman and Mary Kelly. A public house has stood on the site since 1752, but it was rebuilt in the Victorian era. Much of the interior has been removed in recent times, but the extensive decorative tiling remains. A pictorial panel of painted tiles on the back wall, entitled Spitalfields in ye Olden Time, was designed by the firm of Wm B. Simpson and Sons and dates from the late 19th century. The name of the pub is derived from a longâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;term competition between Christ Church Spitalfields and St Brides Fleet Street to claim the finest peal of bells. Christ Church was built in 1714, with only one bell. These were added to and the public house's name commemorates the addition of the tenth bell. The church now has eight bells. Between 1976 and 1988, the public house was named The Jack the Ripper, and memorabilia relating to the case were displayed in the bars. The brewery ordered the change back to its original name after a long campaign by Reclaim the Night demanded that a murderer of women should not be commemorated in such a fashion.

CURRY CAPITAL RESEARCH by Sean Carey This research has examined the pattern of development and segmentation within the catering sector in the Brick Lane area. Some of the more significant findings of the study are summarised: • In Tower Hamlets, changes in household structures and patterns of retail consumption amongst members of the Bangladeshi community, as well as the significant opportunities to be derived from the dramatic growth in London’s new night-time economy since the late 1990s, has led to a major increase in the number of restaurants and cafés serving ‘Indian’ and Bangladeshi food in the Brick Lane area. In 2003 there were 46 catering outlets, which meant that Banglatown was home to the largest number of Indian/Bangladeshi restaurants anywhere in the UK. • Bangladeshis owned the overwhelming majority (88%) of catering businesses in the Brick Lane area. Some 400 staff was in routine full- or part-time employment, although only four (1%) were female. This compared unfavourably with Chinatown where approximately 40% of the 2,500 employees were female. • There has been a significant decline in the number of customers visiting the Brick Lane area at lunchtime during the working week. While some of this can be accounted for by an upsurge in coffee bars and sandwich outlets on the City fringe as well as the ‘food court’ at Spitalfields Market, it was also evident that restaurants in Banglatown have not kept pace with changes in fashion and style in the new daytime South Asian food market exploited by outlets such as Masala Zone, Mela and the fast expanding tiffinbites chain. These outlets were found to offer a wide and eclectic variety of competitively priced ‘fast-casual’ lunchtime options, often focused on ‘healthy eating’, to local office workers. • The research also revealed a marked tendency for restaurants (but not cafés) in the Brick Lane area to experience long periods of inactivity followed by a surge in customer demand towards the end of the week (typically Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays). This pattern was qualitatively different from that found in some outlets serving Indian food in the West End which reported a much more evenly balanced trade throughout the working week and at the weekend. These restaurants have achieved this primarily through subtle and intelligent marketing using creative and engaging concepts and narratives as well as promotional initiatives such as food festivals. This strategy has allowed these businesses to challenge the widely held perception amongst many consumers that ‘going out for a curry’ is a ritualistic and celebratory activity in which to indulge only at the end of the working week. Instead, these outlets have succeeded in making ‘Indian’ cuisine an everyday food choice for at least some middle-class Londoners. • Consumers who used restaurants in the Brick Lane area were drawn from a well-educated middle-class group often living or working locally with a clear majority (70%) in the 25–34 age range. It should be noted that this age-set will decline in numbers in the near future with the 35–44 and 55–64 age-groups set to experience the largest growth. Increased competition between different areas of London to cater for the high-spending middle-class 25–34 age group is likely to become more pronounced. Additionally, the demand for restaurant services is expected to rise less quickly than has been the case in the last decade, although this will be offset, to some extent, by a strengthening of the under £20 per head food market which the catering sector in the Brick Lane area is well positioned to exploit.

Brick Lane Mosque The building was first established in 1743 as a Protestant chapel ("La Neuve Eglise") by London's French Huguenot community. These Huguenots were refugees who had left France to escape persecution from the Catholics. The building survived as a Huguenot chapel for more than six decades. In 1809 it became a Wesleyan chapel, bought by the "London Society for Promoting Christianity Amongst the Jews", but this phase of its history lasted only 10 years. From 1819, the building became a Methodist Chapel. In the late 19th century, the building at 59 Brick Lane was adopted by yet another community. It became the "Machzike Adass" or "Spitalfields Great Synagogue". During this time, the area was home to many Jewish refugees from Russia and Central Europe. The population of Jews decreased over the years, with many moving to areas of North London. The synagogue, losing its worshippers, was eventually closed. During the 1970s, the area of Spitalfields and Brick Lane was populated mainly by Bangladeshis who had come to Britain from the ylhet region looking for better work. Many found work in factories and the textile trade. That growing community required a place of worship, and the building at 59 Brick Lane was bought and refurbished. In 1976, it reopened as a mosque, known as the "London Jamme Masjid". Today, although it has been renamed, it still serves the Bangladeshi community as a mosque.

CHRIST CHURCH Christ Church, Spitalfields is an Anglican church built between 1714 and 1729 to a design by Nicholas Hawksmoor. Situated on Commercial Street, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, on the eastern border and facing the City of London, it was one of the first (and arguably one of the finest) of the so-called "Commissioners' Churches" built for the Commission for Building Fifty New Churches, which had been established by an Act of Parliament in 1711. The purpose of the Commission was to acquire sites and build fifty new churches to serve London’s new settlements. This parish was carved out of the huge medieval Stepney parish for an area then dominated by Huguenots (French Protestants and other 'dissenters' who owed no allegiance to the Church of England and thus to the King) as a show of Anglican authority. Some Huguenots used it for baptisms, marriages and burials but not for everyday worship, preferring their own chapels (their chapels were severely plain compared with the bombastic English Baroque style of Christ Church) though increasingly they assimilated into English life and Anglican worship—which was in the eighteenth century relatively plain. The Commissioners for the new churches included Christopher Wren, Thomas Archer and John Vanbrugh appointed two surveyors, one of whom was Nicholas Hawksmoor. Only twelve of the planned fifty churches were built, of which six were designed by Hawksmoor. The architectural composition of Christ Church demonstrates Hawksmoor’s usual abruptness: the very plain rectangular box of the nave is surmounted at its west end by a broad tower of three stages topped by a steeple more Gothic than classical.The magnificent porch with its semi circular pediment and Tuscan columns is attached bluntly to the west end: it may indeed be a late addition to the design intended to add further support to the tower. Like those of Hawksmoor’s other London churches and many of Wren’s, the central space is of the nave is organised around two axes, the shorter originally emphasised by two entrances of which only that to the south remains. It has a richly decorated flat ceiling and is lit by a clerestory. The aisles are roofed with elliptical barrel-vaults carried on a raised Composite order (cf. Wren’s St James's, Piccadilly), and the same order is used for the screens across the east and west ends. The Venetian window at the eas may show the growing influence of the revival of Palladian Architecture, or it may be a rhyme with the arched pediment of the entrance portico, repeated in the wide main stage of the tower. The east window is a double window, one inside, one outside, the effect now obscured by the Victorian stained glass window between the two.

THE OLD TRUMAN BREWERY The Old Truman Brewery is the former Black Eagle brewery complex located around Brick Lane in the Spitalfields area, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It was established by the brewers Truman's which subsequently became Truman, Hanbury and Buxton. The former Brewery buildings, warehouses and yards were redeveloped by The Zeloof Partnership and now house over 250 businesses, ranging from cultural venues to art galleries, restaurants, and retail shops. However, the old brewery buildings still stand in Brick Lane, where they have become home to an arts and events centre and various fashionable shops and bars. The Old Truman Brewery today is a unique microcosm, attracting visitors from all over the world. Business and leisure come together on the sensitively regenerated 11-acre (45,000 m2) site that is now home to restaurants, bars, shops, creative businesses, events spaces, offices, workshops and two weekly fashion markets.[1]. This self-contained creative resource is open for many activities. The brewery is likely to undergo significant changes in the next few years, as part of the Tower Hamlets Council City Fringe Area Action Plan.

Christ Church Rectory

Huguenot Church and Synagogue

No. 2 Fournier Street, Christ Church Rectory, formerly No.1 Church Street. was a building designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor. It was erected while the church was being completed and at the same time as the building, under leases from Wood and Michell, of the other houses on the south side of the new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Church Streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Before being a mosque, the building used to be a chapel for the French Huguenot community when it was first established in 1743. The building was first established in 1743 as a Protestant chapel ("La Neuve Eglise") by London's French Huguenot community. These Huguenots were refugees who had left France to escape persecution from the Catholics. The building survived as a Huguenot chapel for more than six decades. In 1809 it became a Wesleyan chapel but this phase of its history lasted only 10 years. From 1819, the building became a Methodist Chapel. In the late 19th century, the building at 59 Brick Lane was adopted by yet another community. It became the "Machzike Adass" or "Spitalfields Great Synagogue". During this time, the area was home to many Jewish refugees from Russia and Central Europe.The population of Jews decreased over the years, with many moving to areas of North London. The synagogue, losing its worshippers, was eventually closed.

FOURNIER STREET Fournier Street, formerly Church Street, is a street of 18th century houses in Spitalfields, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It runs between Commercial Street and Brick Lane. Fournier Street was the last to be built on the Wood-Michell estate in Spitalfields, London. The houses mainly date from the 1720s and together form one of the most important and best preserved collections of early Georgian domestic town-houses in Britain.

CREATING THE THIRD PERSON SHOT

We decided to have the 3rd person view scene for the Fournier Street location as it was the area we were going to explore and learn about Spitalfields. Taking the game interface into account, we opted to have some gaming visuals [having texts, images floating onscreen] to give information about the area.

The fim was shot using a rig to get the third person view, gaming view. The rig was held and moved about using both hands, whilst having the camera on as pictured below.

The issue we came across was that since we shot the scene at one go, incorporating the visuals proved tricky. Parts of the body, the head and the hand, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;went behindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the graphics instead of overlapping it as it would in real life. What we did then was, copy the character only on another layer, overlap it with the actual film then mask the outline as shown below. Then we had to move the mask, on each and every frame, to fit the moving character so the graphics got overlaid properly.

Project 2.2 DESIGN LOG

Site Plan: Fournier Street - Conservation Area The land around present-day Fournier Street, Wilkes Street and Princelet Street was developed by Charles Wood and Simon Michell between 1718 and 1728. The houses were designed to a higher standard than previous residential developments in the area and, although intended as domestic houses, many were occupied or partially occupied by industry. Silk-weaving occupied the uppermost floors for the best light for the looms – hence the development of the highly glazed lofts in these houses. The early 18th century streets of Fournier Street, Wilkes Street, Princelet Street and Hanbury Street were laid out on a grid west of Brick Lane. These streets are characterized by the exceptionally consistent quality of the original 18th century houses – the subtle variations of brick colouring, the original details of doors, windows, hoods and ironwork, and the standard of maintenance and repair. Individually, the houses contain features of high quality and historic interest, including panelling, mouldings and staircase balustrading, and as a group they form a valuable 18th century domestic townscape remarkably unchanged by modernisation or conversion. The church itself dominates its surroundings by the scale and monumentality of its architecture and the quality of its neo-classical white stone facades. The powerful, sculptural, unusual and iconic west façade forms the centrepiece of the view east along Brushfield Street, and is a major landmark to through traffic on Commercial Street, and is glimpsed from many parts of the Conservation Area and beyond. The church has historic significance as a grand architectural gesture to re-establish the Church of England in an area which has traditionally been the home of many other faiths. Today it is acknowledged as one of the most significant Baroque churches in Europe. Most of the public realm in the area is made up of lanes and streets, but there are a few larger open spaces. The most prominent is the small public space in front of Christ Church Spitalfields, and the adjacent gardens. This is a busy square, which acts as an important western gateway to the Conservation Area. The gardens provide a valuable area of peace and quiet, and its mature trees can be seen from many directions, softening the urban feel of the area.

Site History:

History of Fournier Street

The Wood-Michell Estate was developed between 1718 and 1728 by Charles Wood of Lincoln’s Inn, esquire, and Simon Michell of Lincoln’s Inn and the Middle Temple, esquire. It had formed part of that southern section of Loles worth field which had been conveyed by William Wheler of Datchet in 1649 to Edward Nicholas and George Cooke in trust to raise portions for his seven daughters. The southern part of the Wood-Michell estate, including the north and south sides of Fournier Street, had formed with other ground, one of the seven ‘lots’ into which the daughters’ property was partitioned in 1675. In the later seventeenth century this southern part consisted mainly of a “Tenter Ground” and a row of houses called the ‘Tenter Ground Range’. The larger northern part of the Wood-Michell estate had been known in the later seventeenth century as ‘Joyce’ Garden’ and had been held since the partition by the daughters in undivided seventh parts. It was bounded on the north by Brown’s Lane (now part of Hanbury Street), on the east by property of Joseph Truman and Henry Coates on the west side of Brick Lane and by Brick Lane itself, on the south by the ‘Tenter Ground Range’ (now represented by the north side of Fournier Street) and on the west by property on the east side of Red Lion Street. The Wood-Michell estate was developed during the early Georgian period, when the Spitalfields weavers were rising in prosperity. The houses were handsome enough and fairly regular in design, but the landlords and builders were not concerned with fine planning effects. Each estate was parcelled out with the maximum number of building plots. Fournier Street, previously Church Street, was the last to be built on the estate, and contained, particularly on its south side, some of its best houses.

Christ Church

Part of this Tenter Ground Property was sold by Wood and Michell to the ‘Fifty Churches’ Commissioners to form the site of Christ Church, Spitalfields, and its rectory, and the remainder was built or rebuilt as Church Street. Christ Church and the rectory (built for the Minister of the Church was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor , a former assistant of Christopher Wren, and built between 1714 and 1729. The Church is widely considered to be the highest expression of English Baroque architecture.

Nos. 2–22 Fournier Street

Fournier Street, backs of houses on south side

Although the houses here were planned and constructed essentially for domestic occupation, a considerable number were soon occupied by firms connected with the silk industry. Silk-weaving occupied the uppermost floors for the best light for the looms – hence the development of the highly glazed lofts in these houses. In 1681, Charles II of England offered sanctuary to the Huguenots and from 1670 to 1710, between 40,000 and 50,000 Huguenots from all walks of life sought refuge in England many settling in Spitalfields. The Huguenots had a huge impact on Spitalfields, particularly its economy, with the diligence and skills in the silk trade, this industry thrived, and Spitalfields became ‘weaver town’. The street then was named after George Fournier, of Huguenot extraction, who in 1834 left money for the benefit of the poor of Spitalfields. Fournier Street, backs of houses on north side

Huguenot Chapel

The Huguenot churches were a connecting thread within the community. The largest and finest of these is the former Huguenot Chapel constructed in 1743-4 on Fournier Street, this building later became a Methodist church. In 1898, the Methodist Church was converted into a Jewish synagogue and would later be converted into a mosque in the 1970s. Nos. 13–39 Fournier Street

Project 2.2 DESIGN LOG

Site Images Aerial to Sidewalk - Images of the Site Surroundings In the late 20th century the Jewish presence diminished, to be replaced by an influx of Bangladeshi immigrants, who also worked in the local textile industry and made Brick Lane the curry capital of London. Another development, from the 1960s onwards, has been a campaign to save the housing stock of old merchant terraces to the west of Brick Lane from demolition. Many have been conserved by exponents of a 'New Georgian' ethos. Such gentrification has, however, caused massive inflation in house prices and the removal of the last of the vagrants from this area. Current 'urban regeneration' has also seen the erection of large modern office blocks, between Bishopsgate and Spitalfields Market. These represent, in effect, an expansion of the City of London, northwards, beyond its traditional bounds, into this area. However, a rear-guard action by conservationists has resulted in the preservation of Old Spitalfields Market and the provision of shopping, leisure amenities and a new plaza behind the city blocks. The area within Tower Hamlets now forms part of the council ward of Spitalfields and Banglatown. Its name represents the modern association of the Bangladeshi community with this area and neighbouring Brick Lane.

Vuzix has unveiled its Wrap 920AR glasses prototype that features cameras mounted to the lenses that project real world images onto LCD’s inside the glasses, seamlessly mixing real-world and computer generated imagery. The glasses incorporate a camera on each lens that captures video at a resolution of 752x480 at 60fps offering a combined image of 1504x480 which can also be viewed in stereoscopic The cameras project real-world imagery onto LCD’s inside the glasses that give the effect of watching a 67” display from ten feet away. The images are overlaid with computer generated imagery effectively creating an augmented reality.

Both games uses an A.R. display system to provide information to the gamer about location, life, ammo and with Ghost Recon, it provides information and locations of your targets and views from other soldiers under your command. It also provides a virtual map to plan your attacks.

Resident Evil 5

In the year 2054 A.D. crime is virtually eliminated from Washington D.C. thanks to an elite law enforcing squad "Precrime". They use three gifted humans (called "Pre-Cogs") with special powers to see into the future and predict crimes beforehand. John Anderton heads Precrime and believes the system's flawlessness steadfastly. However one day the Pre-Cogs predict that Anderton will commit a murder himself in the next 36 hours. Worse, Anderton doesn't even know the victim. He decides to get to the mystery's core by finding out the 'minority report' which means the prediction of the female Pre-Cog Agatha that "might" tell a different story and prove Anderton innocent. The film uses a Virtual display, controlled by hand gestures to use the computing services and review the “Pre-Cogs” crime predictions.

Proposal Research: Hidden Geometry... The Devil’s Architect Christopher Wren is remembered as the chief architect of modern London, but his assistant Nicholas Hawksmoor towers above him in occult circles thanks to his 12 churches built in accordance with the 1711 Act. These made a break from the traditional Gothic style and introduced a new and alien geometric vocabulary of obelisks, pyramids and cubes. His supposedly morbid interest in pagan cultures and pre-Christian worship have helped darken his reputation. Hawksmoor’s churches are based on a layout of intersecting axes and rectangles, which he described as being based on the “rules of the Ancients”. His work borrows from Egypt, Greece and Rome – all revered by the Freemasons – and often in a grand manner. The nave of St. George’s Bloomsbury church is a perfect cube, with a tower in the shape of a pyramid. Seven of the keystones are decorated with flames, the eighth bears the Hebrew name of God inside a triangular plaque surrounded by a sunburst; the symbolism of this is obscure. Hawksmoor’s St. Mary Woolnoth is based on the idea of a cube within a cube. This has represented the squaring of the circle from ancient times, which takes us back to the ideal proportions of Leonardo’s Vitruvian Man… and, of course, the Freemasons. But it is the alignment of Hawksmoor’s churches as much as their architecture that has provoked speculation, starting with the writer Iain Sinclair’s book-length prose-poem Lud Heat in 1975. This describes how Hawksmoor’s churches form regular triangles and pentacles, and “guard, mark or rest upon” the city’s sources of occult power. Sinclair even provides maps to prove the alignments, which are a clear sign of Hawksmoor’s true Satanic affiliation. Sinclair was the first to connect Hawksmoor’s churches with some of the most shocking crimes in London’s history – the now largely forgotten Ratcliffe Highway murders of 1811 and Jack the Ripper’s killing spree in 1888. Sinclair suggests that the malign influence of Christ Church, Spitalfields, is so great that it attracts dark acts of violence to its vicinity. The theme was taken up in Peter Ackroyd’s novel Hawksmoor in 1985, which switches between the rebuilding of London after the Great Fire and a modern serial killer case. Ackroyd, a great scholar of London, playfully names his modern detective Hawksmoor, while the book’s 17th-century architect is Nicholas Dyer. The idea of Hawksmoor as a manipulator of dark forces was further refined in Alan Moore’s hugely ambitious graphic novel From Hell. This involved a unified conspiracy theory linking Hawksmoor, the Freemasons and the Jack the Ripper killings. The Ripper murders, in this version, are carried out by Queen Victoria’s personal physician to conceal an illegitimate child conceived by her grandson, Prince Albert, Duke of Clarence. Moore taps into an earlier strand of Ripperology connecting the killings with the Freemasons. The oath of secrecy taken by Freemasons includes a very colourful description of the supposed penalties, including mention of a cut throat and the statement “that my left breast had been torn open and my heart and vitals taken from thence and thrown over my left shoulder” and “my body had been severed in two in the midst”. Freemasons insist that this oath is symbolic and the penalties have never actually been inflicted on oath-breakers. A number of commentators, though, have suggested that the way the Ripper’s victims were mutilated closely parallels these specific injuries.

Christ Church Primary TECHNOLOGY ACADEMY

Building Proposal: The Programme

Dated in the year 2029, Augmented Reality Technology has began to replace devices like desktops, laptops and tablet systems by allowing users to wear special glasses, and in the next 2 years contact lens, which projects digital information to and about places, people and objects seen; it also allows for a personal computing system to be available to each individual through voice activation and hand gestures. This technology has been mainstream across China and parts of America over the last year and a half. The United Kingdom has been resistant in allowing the technology to fully replace these older systems due to the lack of user knowledge over all age groups, privacy and the level of security built into the A.R (Augmented Reality) Glasses. The security has been the most alarming factor as It has been reported that hackers have been tapping into owners glasses and displaying unwanted information and imagery. Despite this, a proposal has been put forward to incorporate this A.R technology within schools, driven by DigiPen Institute of Technology. A US based institute with multiple locations across Europe and Asian, providing courses in Information technology, game design, art and computer engineering. The UK government has allowed one school to be linked with the Institute to show how this technology can improve the current method of teaching and provide the level of security needed within the system. The institute has been collaborating with Christ Church CE Primary School which has a need to increase itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current numbers, from 236 pupils to 320 pupils. With the proposal to introduce A.R throughout the school as a new teaching medium at a primary level, DigiPen seeks to mainstream potential pupils into developing their careers with the Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s higher educational programs. These programs will be introduced to the community as well by creating a new Community and Youth Centre. The Primary school and playgrounds, Christ Church gardens and Community centre will be included in this scheme to establish Christ Church CE Primary as a teaching hub for the future.

Building Proposal: The Client Main Clients: Christ Church CE Primary School Christ Church is a smaller‐than‐average, Church of England, inner‐city primary school. Almost all pupils are of Bangladeshi heritage and have English as an additional language. Many pupils join the school with little English. The proportion of pupils who are eligible for free school meals is three times the national average. The proportion of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is broadly average but the proportion with a statement of special educational needs is above average; these are mostly for speech and communication difficulties. There are more pupils who join and leave at unusual times throughout the school year than in most schools. Christ Church is a harmonious community and the pupils make a positive contribution. This extends to the wider community, and the school’s promotion of community cohesion is good generally.

Building Proposal: Design Approach Design Approach to Site

Existing Christ Church Gardens

Proposed Christ Church Gardens

The first approach to the site was on the west side from Commercial Street, the existing Community Centre. The proposal replaces the previous building and forms up from the landscape as not to take away from the Christ Church and to extend the park area for more public use.

The second approach to the site is the Tower. This proposed tower is mostly seen using Augmented Reality methods. The tower is to act as an augmented beacon or landmark for Christ Church Primaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Technology Academy. The physically constructed part of the tower cuts into the climbing landscape and provides a vertical motion to the proposal.
