Just Don't Break the Rhythm

Architectural intervention responding to the juxtaposition of Canary Wharf's avalanche of glass overbearing a quiet community in Poplar. Located in Malam Gardens, the rhythmic streets peacefully whisper beneath the thundering financial district. This community garden proposal identifies the disconnected rhythms and need for a community rest stop.

A study of Malam Gardens

There’s a sense of urgency overcoming the streets
Like an avalanche of glass approaching to sweep
Playful fronts where melody meets
Just beneath the bustle
You can hear the rhythm
just
The pub whispers peacefully, enticing
Inside men listen on, blocking the
boom, and merrily hum.
It’s comfortable, quiet, warming
Just don’t look up.
