Two of our works ‘Urban Oasis’ and ‘The Well-line’ feature in the NLA’s Public London, Activating the City report, published to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the London Festival of Architecture. The report looks back at some of the momentous projects of the last two decades and explores how cultural activation projects have contributed to shaping London’s urban landscape in the last 20 years.

⁠Both our featured works reimagine how the city and public structures/sculptures can create spaces that are innovative and have positive impacts on their environments. ⁠

The Well-line addresses London’s increasingly urgent pollution and congestion problems. It will convert the disused underground Post Office Railway – London’s longest brownfield site running for six miles from Paddington to Whitechapel – into a new hi-tech logistics supply line which could reduce the number of goods vehicles in the city centre by 60%.

Urban Oasis is an award-winning environmental installation designed to demonstrate sustainable energy production within an oasis for city dwellers. It is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, with photovoltaic petals which open in response to the sun, utilising light to generate power. At night the entire structure is transformed into a light sculpture. It has been exhibited around Europe as an educational installation, including in Clerkenwell Green, London.
