My proposal is a set of multi-functional artist studios which aim to provide the core functions and requirements of artists. The site is used by a host of existing artists, predominantly fashion, photography and exhibitions. I feel that the site is already a large existing artists studio and thus propose smaller studios which allow the site to function separately and harness different disciplines. My design is a pod like structure which incorporates the immediate needs of an artist. My aim is to allow artists to eat,sleep,work ART. The structure provides a large desk area as the primary function area, from which secondary areas such as food, a bed, and storage can extrude. They can slide away discreetly when dormant and pull out to inhabit different areas of the site. Providing a briefcase like studio, allowing the artist to open up in to their own area, work and mess. I imagine the studios being rented out on short or long term periods, possibly in coordination with events within the site. The pods can open, close, and function in correlation with the inhabitation of the site. Just as Brick Lane and the surrounding area is constantly evolving, so to is the site, and thus the studios should be able to harness these changes and work with them.

Will the pod be mobile? Could it go anywhere easily? Or will it be too big and will need a van to move it if an artist were to move to another space?
