worm holes decor to remind us of the fact that all materials come out of the ground
- can be seen across London
to beautify
maximum impact created by cleaning the stonework and repairing the external features
facades of Bellenden Road were smartened up during the 'renewal scheme' ......lamps
designed by local artist Tom Phillips and bollards by Gormley
social eco system dance
Local resident Eileen Conn met up with our workshop group and gave us some background on the renewal scheme and a useful insight into public-private partnerships.
there is a real juxtaposition of buildings in the road - different styles of shop front
all the changes this street has seen since it was first built in the 1880s.....the modern signage seems out of keeping with the first floor facade.......
but a pavement cafe vibe is coming through
hip and happening
a side street
here is a sense of place .....layers over time ......compromise ...influence .....control
the shop front is a facade social space
fluid movement
systems of interpretation
a certain facade - esp if decided upon by the council - encourages a certain type of business
different styles make for an odd narrative
space/place
fading history
we can see the passage of time
on a hot summer afternoon
