Title : Neighbourhood watch.

Brief:The first brief is about collecting stories of your hood, stories that no one know yet, spying on your neighbourhood, seeing what’s out there, its very much about observation and, making the unknown known, bringing weird and unusual things, places, characters to the surface, bring us your story of your neighbourhood, something that we don’t know yet, be curious and nosy, and tell us a great story of your neighbourhood.

Presentation:verbal + photographic and historical evidence.

We shall meet on Thursday the 8th morning to listen to your story (time to be confirmed)

Listen to the 52 Bus trip story

Great news.

A night of wonders and marvels. After it looked like, the Bar would not be ready in time, everything worked out in the end, involving a motor cycle ride on Tom Dixon’s machine and a ad-hoc cab delivery of beer and several expeditions to restock the vastly vanishing supplies. It is believed, that there was no such party since the days of April Ashley.

The Allotment goes second. After the hysterical sucess of the first opening night, Platform Two decides to have a second go, but this time in the more private atmosphere of 30 handpicked guests, with homemeade food and the beer, that was exclusively brewed for this occasion.

In the spirit of the allotment, that also involves the context of home–grown and home–made, Platform Two learned, how to brew its own beer – home–brewed.

After hot discussions, Platform Two agreed on ‘the Allotment’ as overall working theme and leading idea. An Allotment is “characterized by a concentration in one place of a few or up to several hundreds of land parcels that are assigned to individual families, in allotments the parcels are cultivated individually”.

According to this, Platform Two divided the place into the different areas that were necessary to run it, groups of two to three began to adopt the tasks and ‘grow’ them, both in concept and in reality.

After the former tenants of 8 Egerton Gardens Mews (SW3) had to abandon the premises due to an affair involving illegal gambling, Brompton Estates, the owner of the place, approached The RCA and Platform Two with the idea to make it the place of an unusual project.

Since Platform Two is interrested in exploring different ways of selling and consuming food, the thought suggested itself, to establish this former restaurant and in-place as our research laboratory .
In a presentation of first Ideas to the people of Bromton Estates, together with Tom Dixon Platform Two layed out a variety of possible approaches.

In pursuit to discover some of probably the best chocolate in the world, Platform Two made its way to West Norwood to visit the Rococo Chocolate manufacture, where a hand full of blessed people celebrate the art of cocoa indulgence to its summit. One of the things we learned on this day - chocolate makes high. [www.rococochocolates.com]
