These 4 blank south facing facades on the Queens’ Crescent estate sit as a backdrop to one of London’s oldest and most vibrant street markets.
Working in collaboration with a local street artist these tapestries will provide a new medium on which to capture the essence of the community and highlight the people who live there.
These vegetated walls will provide additional insulation for the buildings, utilise the water run off, increase biodiversity, reduce heat island effect, eat up carbon emissions and provide a communal garden for the residents.
Beyond the ecological and environmental enhancements, these Urban Tapestries create an allegorical landmark, utilising forgotten spaces to illustrate the spirit of London street life.
