Foundations

Short Film produced as an investigation into a building concept for the Architecture Foundation in London.

THIS PROJECT UTILISED THE ORIGINAL COMPETITION BRIEF FOR THE NOW DEFUNCT ZAHA HADID DESIGNED HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARCHITECTURE FOUNDATION IN SOUTHWARK, LONDON. PETER'S AMBITIOUS PROJECT PRESENTS A BUILDING REVEALED BY A RUPTURE IN THE PAVEMENT. THE RIPPLED CONCRETE ROOF BECOMES A PUBLIC PARK, WHILST THE SUNKEN ELEMENTS OF THE BUILDING PROVIDE SECLUDED EXHIBITION AND LECTURE SPACES.
THE COMPLEX ROOF-FORM IS INTERRUPTED BY A SERIES OF TALL FINS THAT PROVIDE STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND ARE INTEGRAL TO THE BUILDING'S NATURAL VENTILATION. THE BUILDING RATIONALE AND IN PARTICULAR, THE SHAPE OF THE FINS, INFORMED ONE OF PETER'S SHORT FILMS.
