Wings of Desire, 1987, Director Wim

Wenders

The rst project of the new year a chronogram of the lm Wings of Desire and the library sequence in particular, the objec -

tive was to map a lm clip and begin to question the way in which movies are shot and then displayed, the relevance of thecamera movements and what effects these have of the viewer.

Personal Outcome:

Looking at moving image and breaking this down into a drawing in which represents the lm and my views on the scenes

shot and the relevant/ important sequences highlighted throughout, the drawing above maps the movement of the cameraand the line of movement across the short clip, the lm is split over two levels with many camera angles to emphasize an

emotion or a scene, switching from 1st and 3rd person perspectives, the lm audio is highlighted in a voice recording draw -

ing with the high intensity of the music highlighted in the orange overlay and the low audio outputs in blue.

The modern sight of the glazed skyscraper high above the surrounding buildings with the height of these buildings growing

as the developers wish to build higher and higher to show the buildings power in the city, glazed facades are the design of

the future in the city, this buildings lacking character and rapidly changing into a single palette of materials glass and steelto represent the modern design.

Observations during the site visit

The City of London borders directly onto one of the poorest boroughs in LondonTower Hamlets, where diversity has a strong current within the borough and the

community an area which has a mix of 45% white British and Asian or Asian

British 35% being the strongest populations, the area has a heavy culture of Asian

inuence infused into what was known as a traditional British culture with Petty

Coat Market being a prime example.

Petty coat lane is like many markets found in London in recent years where the

diversity amongst the stalls varies, with inuence in Tower hamlets housing

many backgrounds and cultures the market has adjusted over the years to create a

rich colourful market, which is showing how the market can adapt over time, the

market almost stand shoulders with that of the investment traderpowerhouses.

The photo shows the view from the market stall with the powerhouses of Heron Tower,Natwest Tower and the Gherkin to the left had side towering above the run down streets of

tower hamlets, the stark contrast in materials are evident the tower hamlets brick render and

concrete against the modern fully gazed facades and structural exposed materials.

Tower hamlets dark brick housing estate against thetowering back drop of the new student housing block,

which has been clad in modern materials, dwarng the

housing estate, representing the solid standings between

the two communities.

The site is steeped in history andwondering around the area stumble

across such gems as above, this

would feed the Jewish poor, now

refurbished into plush apartments

What do the walls say about the city..

Shoreditch is one of the most diverse areas in London, the area focused on is the on the boundaries between the City of London and Tower Hamlets.

The two boroughs differ in many areas the strongest being the nancial differences one being one of the superpowers in the world and the other one of the poorest

boroughs in London.

The divides are evident in the architecture as highlighted on this page, the City is full of modern crisp clean buildings which are well maintained and highlight the

areas wealth, Tower Hamlets houses many of the poorest people in London and the architecture is in stark difference with dark brickwork, less glass and poorly

maintained external skins which breed negativity in the area.

Upon these trip around the site the feeling for personal safety changed as the architecture changed the feeling of security and safety of the city was more than

adequate in the tower hamlets borough sometimes literally across the street had a very different feel more people taking interest in you and as I wondered into areaswith the abandoned street the local became suspicious, creating a unwelcoming presence in the community

The open glazed facades of the ofce

buildings allow for maximising light

penetration and also maximising the

transparency to the outside world,

the glazed facades also reect there

environments which in turn leave a print

of there selves onto the skin of these

curtain walls

Modern usage of expensive materials to the external skins to

the ofce buildings giving the streetscapes a modern wealthy

exterior, the reective materials reect natural illuminating the

facades

The traditional

courtyards

places to go

and places for

investments, the

oor space becomes

more desirable

creating a new

income and wealth

within the area

The poorly lit walkways and dirty stained

concrete make for a uninviting external skin,

the pathways look unsafe and unwelcoming, the

slight illumination to the right of the picture give

this photo a deserted feeling to the building

The picture shows the differenc

and existing commuting and the

students in their modern block,

the negativity and poverty stree

student block which provides m

the location of the area, mixing

communities

Petti coat lane market traders keep the

traditional markets going and local tradingproviding amenities to the local communities

while the modern share trading dominating

the skyline in the backdrop of the picture, the

overpowering modern buildings beginning to

shade the less wealthy areas of surrounding

boroughs, the market is a historic market and

keeping jobs to the local commentates and

providing cultural needs

What do the walls say about the city

What do the walls say about the city..

Film

In this lm I wish to explore the area

and record a short lm which en

captures the transformation the area

is going on and how the walls are theonly last artefacts of this as developers

and communities don’t not interact.

Shoreditch are is a place of great

transformation and redevelopment with

the city bursting and spilling into thesurrounding areas improving amenities

an facilities within their surroundings,

what if any is left on their walls which

describe the area that once was and is

now and the current limbos in betweenthe ruined and the modern.

Artillery Lane

This is a historic route through London where the artillery used

to pass, the lane now still keeps the traditional lane appear-ance with the narrow passageway with timber fronted shops,

this space is a very popular cut through in the area the shops,

hairdressers, pubs and restaurants this small lane has turned into

a place of interest with amenities again remember its past butbring into the fore front like the rest of the city, the lane is a cut

through form the city into Tower Hamlets

Spitalelds Light wall

This part of the market is on one of the entrance/ exists of the market

the wall displays colour through a glazed framing system which alter-nates through the cycle, the creates a interesting connecting between

the vibrant transparent new and the traditional brickwork shops to the

external boundary of the market, this wall creates a visual connec-

tion between the historic market and the bright vibrant internal t out,keeping the principles of the market but bringing the market up-to-

date to match the surroundings.

Spitalelds Light cube

A colourful cube artwork remembering the

history of the market and the colour changesrepresents the changes over time with new

products but keeping its core as a market.

With our economy faltering and the Chinese economy growing in power what

would be the effects if the Chinese superpowers begin trading to but iconic

With the land no owned it would be possible for Chinese business owners

Petticoat Lane in the 1870, the market was very popular and from the illustration

we can see the huge crowds the market drew.

Petticoat Lane,Victorian times

Petticoat Lane, 1910









It is a place of vast immigration, from countries of overpopulation and poverty. While immigrants crowd the city, the

indigenous petite bourgeoisie moves to the suburbs or to the “off- world” as the case may be. Abandoned buildings and

neighbourhoods in decay adjoin highly populated, crowded old areas, themselves set next to new, high- tech business

districts.Ramble City: Post modernism and Blade Runner, GIULIANA BRUNO, October, No. 41 (1987), pp. 66

Project Idea 1 - Blade Runner

The blade runner set would be glowing, slightly run down constant ran and external retro ts to the

existing structure with a dense population, the market place already exists.

The site already has a lot of the infrastructure in place for a blade runner lm, the high skyline in the

backdrop a heavy diverse inuenced population with the local area and hive of activity markets and the

Gilano Bruno quote describing the blade runner city is almost like for like on the area.

during the blitz on London which left London in ruins.



Central London Districts 2023 Following the devastating world are for resources which saw

millions murdered and families left in isolation the government set

up a series of districts where a concentration of people could live on

the remaining sources, after the war the devastation left in London

meant many families stayed in these districts resulting in positive

communities being set up and self sufcient communities beginning

to keep livestock, grow vegetables and recycle in order to keep

themselves and their families alive, 40 years on much like history of

Petticoat Lane the market has becoming a ourishing once more.

a slightly strange construction with a view onto the world.

Site 1.2 - Deserted Housing block

A housing estate which is being vacated by locals moving to safer

neighbourhoods allowing abandoned properties to be lled with the

new migration the Android population.



ClothingFoodRecycle





The wet dystopian vision of the future, with imports reduced

following the war the community have become as independent as

possible with livestock now being kept in the district to provide

meat for the community.

The abandoned buildings in the are have been transformed into

working structures once again providing housing, industrial uses

such as a recycling plant making goods which will help adapt the

buildings as conditions and demands change, vegetable patches

where fruit and vegetables are grown again to provide food and

nourishment for the community as well as jobs, the market is also

back in full ow now for is technological shops and cosmetic

surgery.

This abandoned street just off Petticoat

Lane with repairs could be developed

into a barn shelter for the animals from

the rain with the empty space to thefront and rear of the properties for the

animals to roam.

Abandoned shops, houses and

street could be lled with live cattle

vegetables and corn.

A opportunity for the remaining

community to be self sufcient,

rearing and then supplying food for

the community this is one of many

activities that the community will needin order to be able to survive.

Food being at the heart of the

community there site has potential

many free areas in which to create a

farm for livestock to grow, patches forvegetables to grow and buildings to

slaughter the animals.





Recycling plant

The abandoned block will be transformed into a recycling plant

providing jobs and products for the community to use and sell,

the plant will be separated into metals, plastic and clothing, all

providing jobs for people and opportunities for the community

to learn new trades each of the units are overlooked by the

government insuring safe working environments are maintained.

the goods being manufactured will give the community much

needed clothes, basics and any over production will be sold on

the market to help pay the staff at these factories.
