Brentford was our site for the year, an area of stark contrasts. Recent developments locally are changing the face of Brentford, creating tension between longstanding residents and new arrivals and threatening the stability of an already fragile community. Semester one was spent developing a Provocation Pavilion, designed to uncover issue and conflicts and instigate a conversation. In semester two we combined Industry and Culture in a 24-hour building. Students developed imaginative proposals including ‘Shit Show’, a facility for turning local sewage into 3D printed theatre sets and ‘Independent City’, a new circular form of market garden which acts as a community hub for Brentford.
