hOW CAN WE BRING BACK THE LOST COMMUNITY IN SEVEN SISTERS, tottenham?
seven sisters indoor market x unit 38
A community-led spatial design project based in Tottenham. We worked with locals and campaign group and architecture firm, Unit 38, to propose and pitch ideas to regain the former Latin American community when the market opens again in a couple of years. With a great amount of feedback about the lack of children's spaces and the importance of the younger generations using the market, I pitched an idea that establishes a third space for generations to come together in within the market.
The pitch consisted of a dynamic and modular infrastructure concept, using delivery produce crates. The market's fruit and veg traders receive their produce in crates each morning, and eventually have to pay to get rid of them. This concept reuses them on-site to build a range of social infrastructure from adult and baby sized seating, to games crates, to football goals, and even miniature market stalls for children to play alongside their parents. I designed a range of attachments that fix the crates in various ways to make this possible, and can be constructed by the public themselves.
