Desktopolis

Suspended like a monumental executive toy above the spire of St Botolph's church, Aldgate, sits the 'Desktopolis', exploiting some of London's most valuable wasted airspace. Inside a mile long spiralling landscape supports neighbourhoods of domesticated desks, which mark the entrances to homes concealed in the ceiling voids above.

Violence, lust and rivalry are encouraged, between individuals and their territories through the contamination of the towers' programmatic use. Physical waste is also celebrated rather than concealed in this self-contained ecosystem of production and destruction.

Part of a new pattern of social organisation, assembled beneath a sky of acoustic ceiling tiles.

A project by Tomas Klassnik. Exhibited as part of the RCA's contribution to the 10th Venice architecture biennale 2006. For further information see www.klassnik.com
