What happens if we were to view the city solely from its
rooftops, tracing the unique routes and haptic experiences of the parkour
artist? No longer tied to street-based solutions, a range of new possibilities
emerge, such as for instance in the desire to improve medical treatment within
the city. The use of drones to distribute emergency blood supplies would be 5
times faster and 9 times cheaper than using ambulances or motorcycle couriers,
so this project imagines the old historic buildings in a busy London hospital
-- the venerable St Bart's --being retrofitted with vertiginous landing pads to
accommodate the good-hearted 'mosquitos' which would be buzzing over our heads
in their efforts to save lives.
