Due to the contextual placement and historical importance, Bishopsgate Goods Yard has the potential to become one of the most vibrant zones of London, simply by generating a new and dynamic mixed-use quarter with continuous use. As a result, the area will become a lively, safe and attractive space where humans can interact and engage in complex communicative relationships that will define the future development of the local and global society.
    By doing so, the site will reconnect the wider area by providing new exciting positive and negative spaces, both of them perfectly integrated with the local historical and social contexts. This very integration will generate an architectural gesture that will tangibly and intangibly use the past features to convey future ways of living. Consequentially, Bishopsgate Goods Yard project will ultimately represent a reaction to the past and present conditions of the site, having the noble aim to create platform that will sustain the growing of future communities.
    The architectural program of the project resembles to the needs of the local community, being structured in an innovation center where companies related to creative industries can develop and manufacture future ways of living and most importantly a space where humans with different kind of interests can directly and indirectly interact and in consequence grow their research and prototypes. In other words, the project will provide both the tools and the space for the interested creative humans, in order to participate in a future complex community where science and permanent evolution is above all.
