Info-shop at Lordship Recreational Grounds- Retrofit 6 weeks workshop for level 3 entry construction skills (VIY)

The Info-shop located in Lordship Recreational Grounds in Haringey, North London

The maintenance shop would have bicycles, and spare parts as well as accessories for sale; includ-ing maintenance and repair service allowing the customer to relax and enjoy a browse through the shop or have a short break (meal/drink) while waiting for the service.

Our kitchen will provide food and nutritional drinks which would maximize energy levels and per-formance in fast and hard working environment, enhancing the pos-sibilities to excise without feeling tired.

Info-shed, Lordship Recreational Grounds, London N17

The info shed will be built next year 2015 as a part of the summer events, organised in collaboration with Friends of Lordship Rec.

There will be a small Tottenham city built on the MTA grounds and the site office would then become (after the summer events are over) the main workshop, the Info-shed.

The events running through the summer would explore the notion of migration as an form of urban shaping of the cities.

Interior 1 View from the courtyard Interior 2

Discovering the qualities of a city and its synergetic life which is played on anthropological land-scape, memorizing the history within its materiality and preserv-ing the spirit with the old narrow cobblestone pathways giving you glimpse of the water. Climbing the timid and rigid topography we

come across places that were overlooking the dynamic forma-tion of natural and anthropological boundaries, the city stretching as a carpet between the mountains, where all its imperfections have been washed off by the rain. Walking through the city, the pres-ence of the mountains is memo-

rized into the water and the little town windows. The morning sun bouncing off the individual houses spread on the mountain retreat, glowing like jewels, dispersing the light into the city adding to the kaleidoscopic nature of Bergen.
