Semblance: Thamesmead Nomads in Ibiza

The project proposition addresses our human needs in relationship to uniform architecture and our community buildings. The project objective is to relocate Thamesmead South Estate’s common Stairwells; currently facing demolition due to government policy of redeveloping London’s Sink Estates. The project tells the section of experience of the relocation of a community’s architectural motif, along with the generation Y Thamesmead Residents currently facing eviction. The Staircase fragments and the existing community sub-culture (which is composed of primarily of music and uniform) are transported to their new Nomadic community in Ibiza.

Both the architectural staircase motif and the uniform, which facilitates the collective’s embedded ideals are retained to empower a community that would be lost due to London’s haussmannization.

In UK government we need to consider the effects of community building neglect and therefore social neglect to the population. Following Manslow’s Hierarchy of Human needs (1943) which identifies physiological, safety, belonging, esteem and self-actualisation as our five human needs, we as Architects and the members of government need to understand the relationship between our communities and their community buildings (i.e. residential and activity based spaces).

This project also critiques the methodology of curating an architecture’s semblance. The Semblance of Thamesmead’s South Estate does not reflect reality. The propaganda surrounding the alien brutalist architecture has been the catalyst for the estate’s failure. The increasing digital documentation and therefore fabrication of place has been harmful to the community and has effected the reality in terms of pretense effecting condemnation.

The Objective of the proposition is to provoke the minds of architects and of government members to understand both the mirrorofication and self-actualisation that occurs with architecture and sub-culture items, as well as considering the effect of negative propaganda of a place.

All stages of the craft have their own purpose for our self reflection; to exercise our inner ‘self’. We often look for reassurance in our own reflection, however craft can serve as a revelation in helping to learn of attributes we may not have known before. With each new craft project, you present yourself with a question, hopefully you do not already know the answer, the outcome can act as a means to solidify ideals, expel our issues and exercise the mind.
