Bricks and bread are the very stuff of life in the suburbs
of London, and not least in Golders Green, where the bread-making rituals of
time-honoured Jewish tradition can still be found. Of similar size, yet of
different material and purpose, bricks and bread happen to share a common
process for their production, that of baking. So this scheme proposes that
these baking activities should be combined into one hybridized building sitting
between a row of semi-detached dwellings and a former music hall venue, the
Golders Green Hippodrome. The two tall chimneys for the brick-making and
bread-making act as practical and symbolic references to the domestic rituals
which take place each day in the houses around.
