Stratford is one of London’s development hotspots but this process is also leading to the erasure of the hitherto communities that lived there. So, rather than demolishing a tower block on the Carpenters Estate, this design project strips it back to basics and provides facilities for a diverse mixture of users: allotments for existing residents, live/work studio spaces for artists, digital fabrication laboratories for UCL students, and a rooftop vantage point for West Ham football fans supporting the team in their new Olympic Stadium home. To help out the occupants, sets of pattern-book construction manuals demonstrate how the various elements can be constructed.
