Paper Streets

This year we speculated about the role of the domestic street in a post peak oil scenario. Will work be less divorced from home and play in the future? How might changing live/work relations change the architecture of the street? Might changes in our transportation habits allow us to change the way we think about streets?

There were two stages to the programme; we first asked students to design a mobile ‘Room in the Street’; a piece of travelling public architecture designed to act a s a catalyst for re-imagining streets. Then in semester two we asked everyone to make design proposals for an existing street in London’s ‘Haringey Ladder’.

We also went to Marrakech to learn from approaches to urban spaces and streets that are radically different to our own.
