Squaring the Corners

We worked with nimtim architects to help transform some of the corner plots in the Becontree Estate. Creating a 4.8m cast blue concrete sloping triangle, with crankshafts donated by the Ford Dagenham plant, where many of the residents have worked. On the other corner is a large blue arch referencing the bow top fencing in the area. Both elements were made in our workshop and transported to site for installation. This project was part of Create London's program of artist and architect-led projects to celebrate the Centenary of the Becontree Estate. Images 1-5 by Thierry Bal Images 6-12 by Megan Taylor
