In a dense urban site near to Brick Lane, a test facility is created for the kinds of experimental new materials being developed by the digital artisanal culture increasingly common in that area. Visitors to the building can walk around and enjoy activities such as the burning of materials, enabling them to experience the softness of ashes, probably the softest of all our urban materials. Alongside fire, the tall chambers can also be used for crushing, exploding and generally destroying the city’s materials. In the rear courtyard, at lower level, a garden of remembrance contains the damaged fragments of various experiments carried out.
