gather
|
Gather’ is a celebration of pride, unity, and care. Embracing ‘ribbons’ of coloured timber, rise to the sky and lean on each other for strength. Multiple equal elements come together to create an inviting structure greater than the sum of its parts. ‘Gather’ explores the themes of togetherness, community and LGBTQ+ culture, through a geometrically complex freestanding structure made of simple repeated timber elements, each engraved with a unique message from members of the queer community. The structure is open air, intended to be safe and accessible to all, a folly for relaxing, for meeting, and for sharing ideas. It is intended to be a colourful beacon of diversity, visible from the street, inviting people in to experience a more relaxed and intimate pride experience that can also be used as a structure to anchor and host events at. It will enhance the public realm of London and showcase LGBTQ+ design to the city. |
