The Demolition Project: continuing explorations – the demolition project. Demolitions: continuing explorations Tearing up the map – the blog about us The Demolition Project’s ongoing explorations enable people to reshape their city by demolishing buildings, streets or other parts of the built environment that they cannot tolerate, by tearing them out of the map and destroying them. In exchange, they must tell us why. We began with a durational piece at ]performance space[ in Hackney Wick[ in May 2013 and have since visited festivals, galleries and private workshops, opening the map to participants for periods ranging from 90 minutes to six hours.
We made a summary of our work so far in the form of Demolitions: A Progress Report, and presented it as a performance-lecture at Rich Mix in Shoreditch, east London in May 2014. Images above are from The Demolition Project at One to One: Charting the Personal Terrain at the Rag Factory E1 on 27 April 2014. Like this: Like Loading... DCLG Community Rights.

Mapping protest over urban space in London - Martine Drozdz. I started my fieldwork in a context where a London -wide network of activists - Just Space - was being consolidated through the process of the Examination in Public of the London regional strategy (the London Plan). In order to situate historically and geographically this network and other cases of strategic action on which I was working at the time, I started to gather examples of conflicts which had occurred around built environment issues - broadly defined.
Trying to put in place a more systematic methodology, I got interested in different online databases which I could access when I was working at The London School of Economics. I began searching the Evening Standard digital archive and looked for conflicts and campaigns. I did so over a period of roughly 15 years (1998 - 2013). City Farms and community gardens.
