Rebuilding Fandom
ADS 3 'Unwritten Constitution'
Royal College of Arts
2022/23
'Rebuilding Fandom' captures fandom's nomadic feature and their collective strength in rewriting the official context as prosumers.
The project demonstrates the potential of the Greater London area's odd lots to provide dedicated fandom space, by utilising the permitted development and timeline loopholes in UK planning legislation.
A method was proposed that combines permanent and pneumatic structures through three strategies: Expanding, Framing, and Lofting, accordingly transforming the site into Workshop, Mini Convention, and Public Event Pavilion space for fans.
How to utilise loopholes in planning permission to create dedicated spaces for the nomadic fandom culture in the current urban context of London's inflated real estate market?
The project suggests a new mode in an instructive way to weave the fan activities into everyday life context.
