Temporary vs Permanence


Another area of interest when looking at how squatters inhabit spaces is the amalgamation of temporary and permanent architecture. Many have temporary structures which can be taken down and moved quickly if they had to vacate the premisses.

Heres an example I found of a car park top cafe called 'Franks Cafe' which was erected in London by two ex cambridge architecture students.




This project uses simple construction methods and materials to transform an unused space and can be easily disassembled for transportation and storage; it could even then be re-erected elsewhere.

I hope to utilise the roof space of the mill in a similar way using the chimney and the windows of the top floor as anchor points.
