Terminal Architecture (i) Sculpture

This is an exhibited artwork from my project entitled 'Terminal Architecture'. Inspired by the socio-political aspects of inner city life, the project examines how the British Brutalist architecture of the 1960’s, in particular the high rise council estate tower blocks, often turned neighbourhoods into poverty ridden ghetto’s due to the decay and neglect of the buildings structure. This was not what Le Corbusier envisioned in his concept of communal living. This small sculpture relates to the fragile nature of the ill-built concrete structures that corroded from within. The estates often have a reputation for being anti-social; the consequences of crime and gang culture. I draw upon my own personal experiences having grown up on the Oliver Close estate in East London, during the 1970’s and 80’s. The Punk and SKA sub-cultures of the late ‘70’s, wrote lyrics highlighting these issues, most notibly The Specials.
