The Project combines a burial ground and a public garden on the site of the Bishopsgate Goods Yard. Fallen into neglect, the site is now subject to speculation. Plot twist. Bishopsgate Terminal reflects on what it means for a burial ground to exist in the busiest part of Shoreditch, but also how an active cemetery, being both inviting and repulsive, stands both as an insurance policy to the public space in an area that lacks it, and as a timid invitation to adventure and possibilities.
Plot not only becomes a strategy of preservation, but also provides a blank page for whatever narrative the occupier chooses to write.
