Barbican or not to Barbican? That is the question...

The Barbican are thinking about possibly getting me to design a travelling pop up installtion for them for over the summer based on my design for LFA 2010. The idea would be that it would be an interview room that records peoples responses to all the summer creative events they are holding..... Watch this space....

POP UP and CONFESS! Sponsored by New London Architecture!

Having visited the London Festival of Architecture a few times now, I finally mustered up the courage to design my own installation for the Festival. The theme this year is 'Preparing for the Olympics' - which got me thinking about all the new building that will soon start to take place that will begin to transform London as we know it. Still today, there is a great level of distrust between architects and the public, and I was keen to create something, ahead of all this building, repair this relationship. New London Architecture took a liking to the scheme and have provided me with sponsorship to run with the project and get it made!
POP-UP AND CONFESS!
A TEMPORARY ARCHITECTURAL CONFESSIONAL FOR LFA 2010

Ever stolen your mate's idea? Bribed your way to the front of the print queue? Blagged your way through a design review? Yeah sure you haven't......
As us architects prepare for the architectural transformation of our city ready for the 2012 Olympics, wouldn't it be nice to be able to clear your architectural conscience and start a fresh?
Based on the South bank, on 3-4 July as part of the London Festival of Architecture 2010, The Pop -Up confessional allows just this.
Come tell us your architectural sins and receive your' I've Confessed!' badge (sure to be a collectors item,)

Remember to come visit me 3-4 July on the South Bank!
