RIBA London is partnering with London Borough of Hackney and consulting engineers Ramboll to transform Hoxton Square with architects Harry Dobbs and interactive design studio Troika. Come out to play!
Parasol-shaped structures, from architects Harry Dobbs, playfully dotted around the square, will perform as social meetings places, for rest, play and discovery. Chameleon-like, they will respond to the visitor, at one moment creating a cozy space, or the next offering protection against the elements.
Using wireless technology, designers Troika, who have had work displayed at the Design Museum and the V&A, are creating a light installation inspired by everyday symbols used for describing the weather forecast, a theme that’s echoed by ‘The Weather Yesterday’, a tongue-in-cheek and ever-changing illuminated tribute to the British pastime of talking about the weather.
