Description:

Forgotten Spaces 2011 London exhibition, showcases innovative proposals for the rejuvenation of neglected spaces in Greater London.

The exhibition follows the hugely popular Forgotten Spaces design competition| launched earlier this year, which asked architects, artists, local groups and designers to nominate a forgotten space in Greater London and conceive an imaginative and inspiring proposal for its regeneration.

Inhabiting Somerset House's own forgotten spaces – the lightwells and coalholes surrounding the Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court and the hidden passage known as the Deadhouse - the exhibition designed by Campaign and supported by lighting supplier XAL, and printer Contour, showcases the shortlisted and winning competition entries. A collection of models, 1:1 installations, images and multimedia pieces will illustrate far reaching proposals for festival firepits in Crystal Palace, artist-inhabited church spires across the City, and Urban climbing tunnels under Clapham High Street to name a few.
