Old Billingsgate:
200-1941
Bodies of water are very different—not just physical and structural, but political, cultural, and historical—their differences and uniqueness make up a collective world. The Thames and Old Billingsgate have a unique connection with them. There are various mobility fields, including the actual flowing river, the conceptual flow of population, and the flow of economic chains.

Floating
The project is committed present the original elements—remaining the existing facade and structure of old billingsgate; using the tidal pool to record the water level; and the river bank in the basement. Through this intimate conversation between the two water bodies.
