THE OLYMPIC SITE AND HACKNEY WICK TRAIN STATION
FOUND OBJECTSAND WRAPPING
Object 1- Hub cab in recycling bagObject 2 - Peg tide up withObject 3 - Mirror partially wrapped with cling filmI refer to these wrappings in very met-aphorical way. For instance, I chose the first object because of its dirt in the inside and the shinney surfaces on the outside, reminds me of the Olympic site.Many buildings have been demol-ished including houses to create such mass scaled design to occupy number of visitors for one summer. Some of those designs later on will turn into houses for residents. However the ap-proach to the site is very European and very far away from how Britain lives or lived. For many visitors it may

The site is also interesting in terms of the arrangements and the tidiness.The beauty of the area can even now be imagined however there is nothing to community in those designs.

40 % of the Olympic visitors are expected to use hackney wick train station which is located 20-30 min-utes away from Olympic stadium. At the moment Hackney wick is under construction. Every part of it is getting renewed. This construction has been going on for years, many buildings have been demolished, 90’s architecture already left the town. Old London look is long gone Its now almost completely new. For those tourists whom would like to learn about England history or lifestyle will have to travel inland to get a closer look to reality. Unfortunately Hack-ney wick has became European scene for European people.
Community point of view is not important at this point , regardless of what locals may think the bright new red sculpture of Anish Kapoor stand-ing can be one of the many examples of it.

SURROUNDINGS
ROUTE MAPPING
Korean PavilionShanghai World Expo 2010Nikko Architects Shanghai, ChinaFaçadeDouble facade with tension structure, CNC milled metal cladding, digital-printed metal, structural glass and integrated LED lighting.
Cepezed ArchitectsThe façade is made of a 300 square meter area of stainless steel mesh which holds thin transparent plastic disks. Wind causes the mesh to vibrate and move the disks which ‘ripple and create intricate patterns in the light’.
Designed by Eduardo Arroyo of NO.MAD Arquitectos,Aranjuez, SpainCalled Casa Zafra, the two-storey house is in-spired by crooked geometry and has a wire-mesh facade on the south-facing wall. The occupant can change their view of the surrounding landscape using mobile screens.

The images are shows the changes that happened in hackney wick station in 2 weeks time. It also rep-resents the importance of Olympic which has certain importance to the govern-ment, and economy but the question is it worth and why is it so important ?Many building also been demolished and replaced with contemporary build-ings . Which doesn’t reflect England.
With these prototypes I have tried to find and ex-periment with materiality. How it changed and the effects. This experiment led me to the acrylic and metal mesh structure use. With acrylic I will be able to print images on also opacity and the colour can be arranged for different images.
