Commissioned by LPG and RIBA London, the folly forms part of London Festival of Architecture's 'Playful City' events and the London Pleasure Gardens. As part of the pleasure gardens experience, the folly (one of six commissioned) will form a small part of a £1.2 Billion regeneration project for Newham Council.
The folly is a place to sit, a place to shelter from the wind and rain, a meeting place, something to climb on and object of play.
What we'll deliver:
- Deliver the folly on the back of a truck to site and drop into place
- Form a team of volunteers to construct the folly
- Over a week we will construct the folly off-site from polystyrene and water based resin
Why it's a great idea:
As part of the regeneration of one of London's poorest neighbourhood's the folly will form a small, but integral part of the larger London Pleasure Gardens project that will help revitalise a forgotten part of London.
Steps to get it done:
- Through the help of dedicated volunteers

VolunteerAbout the Project Creator
Denizen Works is an architecture and ideas studio with an international outlook focused on understanding local conditions and culture. The studio is led by Murray Kerr, recently returned to London after spending the past two years leading BDP’s expansion into the Netherlands and mainland Europe.
Denizen Works is currently working on projects ithroughout Europe and developing strong relationships with design and construction firms across the globe. Fundamental to the business approach is an understanding of context, through community consultation (a city, a town, a street or a home) and the development of local knowledge. The investigation of local history, building types, materials, culture and microclimate are the foundation of design, combined with the insight and imagination of highly motivated designers and thinkers.
