This model looks at the fair as a site of transgression, where social and architectural boundaries break down and the normally unacceptable becomes commonplace. The fair infects the normality of the architecture, changing those spatial qualities and adding new programmatic layers.
This idea of appropriation and co-option is key to my thinking for the main body of the project, and parallels Hill's creative users.
The model itself is heavily indebted to those of CJ Lim's studio at the Bartlett, and in particular to Thomas Hillier's exhibit at last years RA Summer Exhibition - by far the stand-out piece for me, and a really interesting exploration of narrative as architectural process.
