MArch and BSc Architecture at Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL
by Tom Leggatt
This is a model from ‘Localised Decentralised’, a project completed in Year 4, Unit 11 at The Bartlett, UCL. In Prince Charles’ 10 Principles of Architecture, it states that ‘local wood beat imported metal’. This is applied to known energy items found on the streets of London, which leads to finding ways of recreating the traffic light design (David Mellor), man-hole covers and electrical bollards all out of local wood. The types of wood chosen also have properties that match the function of each street furniture item.
+ Furniture items can be purchased separately or as a full set.
