'Nomadic Towers' is a pop-up pavilion for a delightful interim garden in Shoreditch, London.
The proposal caters to both the local residents and the homeless community, providing a place for where the users may shower then exchange and dry their clothes.
With the permanence of the garden being uncertain, the architecture allows for the entire structure to be packed up and transported, allowing it to and put up wherever the garden may migrate to.
The project involves a group of University of Westminster students collaborating with Shahed Saleem (from Makespace Architects) and AKTII Engineers on a pavilion set to be installed in The Sackler Courtyard at the V&A Museum by the summer of 2020.
The structure is made up of timber elements and its design is a visual representation of the British Mosque of the 17th and 18th century.
My partner and I were involved in the technical exploration and detailing of the dome to propose an easy fabricate, assemble and disassemble the structure.
