LONDON FESTIVAL - SCHOOL WORKSHOP

With thanks to the Saison Poetry Library at Royal Festival Hall - the workshop was fantastic and the children had a great time. We now have the sounds of the site and are progressing how we are going to transfer them across to the light structure.

Nearly there.

OUR LAUNCH YEAR

OB1 has been visited by 3000 unique visitors in our launch year. This is great. In this time we have had tutorials, reviews, shows, field trips, workshops, forums and lectures. Well done and keep clicking in as we are currently working on a project under Hungerford Bridge for the London Festival of Architecture. We will be posting updates.

Next year OB1 will evolve.

LONDON FESTIVAL - WEBSITE

We are on the London Festival Website!

Year One architects propose a lightweight structure celebrating the sounds of the place - the River Thames, Big Ben over the way, the carousel behind, the Railway above and Buskers below. Re-marking Hungerford Bridge with the imagined and the physical – asking who is performing?

Working with the Saison Children's Poetry Library at the Royal Festival Hall, wishing to bring the library outside for the summer. The structure will reveal the underestimated qualities of the everyday life of this transitory space. The build and opening will be on Saturday 12th July (subject to approvals) and will be celebrated with some occasional performances.
