Brixton Market visit
As a part of our inspiration week we visited Brixton Market. Seeing the market reminded me of subject we’ve
been learning about in the Studio 1A lessons. The subject
was about how buildings can talk. To me
Brixton Market is a very good example of this.
What is this building trying to say to us? First of all the sculpture of the cherries on
the top of the building give us the clue what is going on inside. What about the other part of the sculpture, the
foxes? They have been familiar inhabitants of cities for long time now, but perhaps
in the streets around the market they can be spotted in greater density, thanks
to the dustbins full of tempting leftovers. Inside of the market we were also able to
experience many different languages of architecture. Various cafes and restaurants
are offering the cuisine of different countries. They are designed the way we could
easily identify the type of food they specialize in. This experience made me
realize that thanks to my studies I look now at buildings in a different way.
