2014 Proposal "Earthcore", Art at One Blackfriars, shortlisted

In response to this historic site, we propose a site specific functional sculpture that reflects the historicity, locality, community and aspirations of the site, creating a focal point and amenity that will become landmark.
From excavation, an earth core is produced, giving a view of the functionality of the ground, which could then be view as a column, to pull the history from the earth. Inspired by Trajans Column and the victory story, and the social change and philanthropy the Roman Emperor was known for, his narrative carved into the column spiralling upwards, with the elements of water in all its’ states and fire, leading to a range of tactile and sumptuous materials such as steel, glass, bronze, and stone, to create a column reflecting both past and present. The column is then split and seating arranged in what is now a hollow column. Southwark bridge brings together the two halves, or unity, spanning the two halves. The experience of the visitor is to encounter beautiful surfaces, a history and a present story, optimism for the future, and a landmark on the pedestrian skyline that reflects the luxury and quality of the development and its’ location. |
