| 説明 | This photo - and the jokey page heading - are by Tottenham resident Martin Ball. Posted here with his permission.Martin tweeted the photo. He routinely reports dumped stuff to Haringey Council. The bed and mattresses were propped against a lamppost outside the new John McAslan studio at at 451-453 High Road Tottenham, London N17. Both Martin and I have been following the odd and troubling story of the Studio's appearance in the High Road; and we've been raising sceptical questions about it. Most of the key questions have until now gone unanswered.Kerb Appeal? By chance, on the evening of 14 January 2015, we attended a talk held at the McAslan studio. It was on Shop Front Improvements in east Tottenham which are now currently underway. Coincidentally, dumping outside shops along main roads was one of the points I raised in the Question & Answer session after the talk. What does this have to do with shopfront design? Simply that a fancy-schmancy new facade won't impress customers if the kerbside or streetview includes a dumped bed. Or when the nearby pavements are a gallery of smelly rubbish bags, litter, and abandoned waste. YOU&ME = you&us = Us & Them?The talk was given by two staff from the architecture practice YOU&ME Architecture. who have been doing some of this shop front work for several months. (I'll shortly be posting my photos of their new shop fronts in West Green Road.)_________________________________Links§ My subhead picks-up on their self-description on the You&Me Architecture website. And also on Twitter where they say they are: "a multi-disciplinary/collaborative architecture/design platform interested in how people shape places, the building process, its legacy: you&me = you&us." |
