"Somewhere between a building and a ruin, this retained façade represents a sculptural and absurd construction. As well as raising questions about 'façadism' and heritage conservation, this ephemeral construction symbolises the contradictions and conflicts that different cities face in the face of urban regeneration processes. The intervention is part of a regeneration project in East London, which includes the renovation of Toynbee Hall, the improvement of the public space surrounding it, and the construction of apartments and commercial spaces. Weeks after the building was finished, and the blue metal structure was removed, my partner and I went and stood in front of the façade. Why are we here? He asked me, without recognising anything of the scene."

ABOUT

Francisco Ibañez

Architect and photographer who, through photography, questions the perception of the temporal, emotional and formal aspects of the city, challenging the notion of permanence and reality by documenting processes of urban transformation, investigations that generally take months or years. He has specialized in managing urban regeneration projects as part of multidisciplinary teams and audiovisual research on architecture, urban landscape and city identity. Photography and architecture complement each other in his work, collaborating in the exploration of cities from different angles and perspectives.
