PROJECT OUTLINE
LOCATED IN THE MULTI CULTURALLY CHARGED AREA OF SPITALFIELDS, EAST LONDON.THIS PROJECT EXPLORES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE, TEXTILES AND THE NARRATION OF IDENTITY. THE BUILDINGS PROGRAM OPERATES ON ONE LEVEL FOR TEXTILE TRADE AND SUBSEQUENT LEVELS SERVES AS A PRIVATE, PART MUSEUM PART GALLERY SPACE. SPITALFIELDS HOLDS A RICH HISTORICAL RELATIONSHIP BOTH WITH TEXTILES AS WELL AS BEING WELL KNOWN AS A PLACE WHERE DIFFERENT CULTURES MEET. IN RECENT HISTORY ITS TEXTILE INDUSTRY ON A RETAIL LEVEL HAS BEEN DOMINATED BY MAINLY ASIAN AND AFRICAN TRADERS. AFRICAN TEXTILES SHALL BE THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE PROJECT AS THE EXHIBITION SPACE OF THE BUILDING WILL PLAY HOST TO SMALL PRIVATE VIEWINGS OF WORK DISPLAYED BY ARTISTS WITH AN AFFINITY WITH AFRICA.

THE SITE ITSELF IS A NARROW, ALMOST FORGOTTEN SPACE BETWEEN BUILDINGS. THIS NARROW SITES CONSTRAINTS PROVIDE THE PROJECT WHITH A UNIQUE SET OF OPPORTUNITIES, BOTH SPATIALLY AND PROGRAMATICALLY. WHEN CONSIDERING THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONTEXT OF THE PROJECT. MIGRATION PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN SHAPING THE AREAS IDENTITY.

CULTURAL CONTEXT
Josephine Baker: dancer, singer, and actress who found fame in her adopted homeland of France. Born in the USA, she renounced her American citizenship in 1937 to become French. She was often given several nicknames such as the "Bronze Venus", the "Black Pearl", and the "Crole Goddess". She gained much popularity through her very stereotypical caricature-like performances promoting her as an exotic Africa Image Mosaic: Josephine Baker in 1926.

THE JOSEPHINE BAKER STORIES THAT HAVE BEEN TOLD IN ARCHITECTURE ARE SIGNIFICANT. THEY CANNOT BE MERELY REVISED, THROWN, OR ADDED ONTO. THEY TELL US ABOUT THINGS AT THE HEART OF ARCHITECTURE. THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS OF TELLING AND USING STORIES BUT THESE ARCHITECTURAL STORIES HAVE BEEN LARGELY ASYMMETRICAL. THEY ARE DEPENDENT ON SILENCE AND THE EVASION OF ISSUES OF ETHNICITY AND RACIAL IDENTITY, AND ON THE SILENCE OF BAKER HERSELF, AS A SUBJECT TO BE LOOKED AT, RATHER THAN READ AND LISTENED TO. suggesting that secrecy and silence, quiet or anxious stillness, and evasiveness make certain kinds of stories. -Karen Burns (Nalbatongu and Wong, 1997, p97)

THE ROLE OF THE TEXTILE HAS ALSO PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT ROLEIN AFRICAN LIFE AND CULTURE FOR THE LAST 2000 YEARS. TEXTILE PATTERNS, MATERIALS NAD MEANS OF PRODUCTION CAN REVEAL MUCH ABOUT A PARTICULARMOMENT IN HISTORY. THEY MAY ALSO CHART THE MOVEMENTS AND MIGRATIONS OF PEOPLE OVER A MUCH LONGER PERIOD.

TEXTILE PATTERNS, MATERIALS AND MEANS OF PRODUCTION CAN REVEAL MUCH ABOUT A PARTICULARMOMENT IN HISTORY. THEY MAY ALSO CHART THE MOVEMENTS AND MIGRATIONS OF PEOPLE OVER A MUCH LONGER PERIOD. THEY TELL NOT ONLY F TRADE BUT ALSO OF HOW DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD RELATED. TEXTILES OFFER A MEANS OF RECORDING S OR COMMUNICATING IMPORTANT POLITICAL OR SOCIAL EVENTS. HEADWRAPS HOLD SIGNIFICANT MEANING AND SYMBOLISM TO SEVERAL CULTURES PARTICULARLY THOSE OF AFRICAN DECENT. IN AFRICA, HEADWRAPS ARE WORN AND CONVEY A RANGE OF MESSAGE FROM THAT OF MODESTY, AS WELL AS WITH DIFFERENT COLORS OF HEAD WRAPS, THEY CAN SYMBOLIZE WEALTH ANDSOCIAL STATUS. THEY ALSO SERVE A PRACTICAL FUNCTION IN PROTECTING THE HEAD FROM THE RAYS OF THE SUN. IN AFRICAN CULTURE, HEAD WRAPS ARE OFTEN FOLDED IN A RECTANGLE AND TIED AROUND THE HEAD IN AN ORNAMENTAL FASHION, BRINGING THE ATTENTION UPWARDS AND TOWARDS THE FACE. AFRICAN HEADWRAPS ARE VERY STRIKING AND THE BRIGHT COLORS CAN REALLY ANIMATE AND BRIGHTENTHE FACE OFTHEWEARER.

TEXTURE STUDIES FOR INTERIOR FINISH TREATMENT
THE FABRIC AND SURFACES ARE SUITED TO INTERIOR APPLICATIONS SUCH AS WALL COVERINGS AND WALL PANELS. BOTH MATERIALS BENEFIT FROM CORK'S NATURAL ACOUSTIC AND THERMAL INSULATING PROPERTIES. THE CORK TEXTILES ARE MADE FROM WOVEN ELASTANE AND RE-COMPOSITED CORK WHICH IS A BY-PRODUCT FROM THE WINE INDUSTRY. THESE FABRICS CAN BE PRODUCED IN A WIDE RANGE OF COLOURS. THE GEOMETRIC PATTERNED SURFACES HAVE BEEN LASER CUT AND CAN BE PRODUCED IN THREE METALLIC FINISHES, AS WELL AS BLACK AND VARIOUS NATURAL FINISHES.
