What if Shenzhen came to Soho? Can we develop measures to maintain the capital as an affordable place to live, work and experiment? Can the logic of markets be re-routed to help create an economic platform for alternative businesses? How can we make permanent the spirit of 'meanwhile' projects?
Something & Sons' plans for a 'London Free Trade Zone' seek to design a new infrastructure for small businesses in central London. Taking advantage of holes in the urban fabric, they propose to conduct a form of urban acupuncture upon the wastelands of the city, inserting self-build structures into overlooked nooks and crannies to house a network of businesses sheltered from the crippling pressures of rent and rates in the contemporary cosmopolitan city.
Panel:
Andrew Merrit & Paul Smyth, Something & Son
