ADS2: NEW POLITICS, NEW URBANISM
Foyerism
Foyerism challenges the conventions of the two-dimensional, programmatically zoned masterplan, offering instead an enticing four-dimensional, urban topography governed by chance, juxtaposition and surprise, to be explored by the urban ‘flaneur’. The borough-wide context of Camden is blighted by social segregation and extreme school overcrowding. To solve this, the project redevelops the outdoor space of schools within a one-mile radius of Kings Cross with additional teaching facilities, and relocates this outdoor space to a consolidated ‘condensed urban playground’ between Kings Cross and St Pancras stations. Performance spaces – for orchestra, theatre and dance, a library and retail arcades – are used to further activate the public realm, (re)creating ‘place’ in this once-overlooked skirting zone.
