The borough of Southwark has declared to become Sanctuary; a borough that welcomes refugees and immigrants. Refugee welcome areas are till now informally delineated through graffiti’s on viaduct arches or posters on victorian residential windows. Southwark is geographically and socially striated into the commercial Banskside, the culturally diverse area of Peckham and the conservative Dulwich. Identity in Peckham is claimed through divisions / viaduct ownership franchises ownership multiple focus / linear timetable agents / conflict forming a series of foci that create engagement on the everyday scale. Can Sanctuary be mitigated in the midst of a striated borough? Sanctuary is reclaimed through an artery that branches out of the linearity of Rye Lane, leading into the space within the two viaduct arches. Identity is re-claimed through a journey of mitigated identification process. gardening / learning / cooking form a series of new foci that tone down the intensity of Rye Lane, allowing incomers to practice their own identity within Peckham. The new line of Sanctuary / is the exploitation of Southwark’s declaration to become a borough of Sanctuary. / is the integration of incomers into the heterogeneous context of Peckham. How can a borough policy be successful if it does not address the everyday scale?
