Thamesmead estate’s failing condition acts as a site for the transplantation of Venice’s water. An area of the estate is to be left unflooded which creates opportunities of design to accommodate the confrontation between land and water and the idiosyncrasies which this entails. Setting out design and schematic decisions using narratives derived from object scale exercises, as well as poetry, attempts to enrich the dialogue taking place. This project explores Plot's limits in relation to narrative, territory, and concept, thus better positioning ourselves to challenge architectural boundaries.
