Let's Meet On The Edge - New London Awards 2024 Winner

Winner of the community prize

Let’s Meet On The Edge was a meanwhile intervention in Edgware town centre consisting of a set of three installations at different locations along the high street and a Community Festival Programme.

Guided by ‘form follows materials,’ the project embraced reclaimed elements, celebrating imperfections through a wabi-sabi lens. Victorian Douglas Fir beams and pine joists from century-old army barracks became outdoor furniture and a timber frame structure. 

Salvaged plywood hoarding formed an insect totem at Edgware station, while bamboo poles, metal pipes, ceramic insulators, and old instruments created an analogue sound instrument in the Garden City music closet. Hessian & Jute sacks were transformed into container planters, emphasising sustainable repurposing.
