FRAGMENTS.

Scaffolding: “a temporary structure used to support the construction, maintenance and repair of buildings”.

What some may perceive as a temporary ugliness protruding out of the natural urban environment; I am drawn to its linear design, the contrast between permanence and degradation, and the transient nature of its construction.

​

Formed from various different components, scaffolding can be assembled in various different ways to integrate with and support a building; the structure can be assembled, disassembled, relocated and assembled again. In this sense, over time, the structure is in a constant state of flux, moving around the city.

​

By focussing on this dynamic, I use universal hinges and industrial materials to create kinetic urban structures, which mimic the minimalist and fragmented aesthetic of London.
