‘Without Coordinates. London Design District’
With title ‘Moby Dick: Adventures and Discoveries’, Vesper 05 evokes the spirit of frontier research—a form of inquiry that which is also reflected in Barozzi Veiga’s project for the London Design District. The absence of a consolidated environment demands not only architectural invention but also a rethinking of conventional methodologies. By drawing on London’s industrial past and the archetype of the artist’s studio, the project navigates between memory and innovation, resisting dominant spatial paradigms.
