The project involves the design of a mobile architecture gallery built to contain and distribute – both metaphorically and literally – ideas for the city as whole. This installation will travel along the River Thames, connecting in this way a number of artistic spaces, and picking up visitors along the riverbank,particularly at South Bank.
This container vessel should be versatile enough to accommodate a variety of functions through simple modifications to its structure. The exhibition space must be able to adapt itself to the movement of the river and to the requirements of the exhibition and the artists, as well as the climate of London, with the particular demands imposed by summer and winter conditions.
This “Floating Container” will consist of a lightweight structure installed upon a floating barge, with a basic area of approximately 500 m2. It should form an object that is easily distinguishable from all the other types of vessels which currently navigate the river, and it should be capable of altering through its “temporary” presence the urban profile of the city, while at the same time being able to incorporate itself into the miscellaneous context of modern‐day London.
