A building of this quality in terms of space, design and materials has never been seen in Thornton Heath, at least in modern times.

You need to go inside to appreciate it. And its not easy to photograph as it is about how the spaces all fit together and how the old features are integrated into the new concept. This building sets a high standard for any new building in Thornton Heath to aspire to. 

I can't rave too much about this! Its like a prestige building but for the ordinary library users of Thornton Heath. 

OK one word of criticism the childrens library which has returned to the ground floor after many years has the most amazing carpet but needs more sound dampening. I was there with just a few 2 year olds and it was deafening. How about a tapestry project or something?

In fact that is what is needed over all - some projects, readings, and performances to bring the communities oral culture in to meet the literary heritage that the library has at its core. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/57976131@N00/4742815423/in/set-72157600393876443/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[d2e8a53727c4f640bce3cc67d767928f]" ><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4081/4742815423_720afff176_t.jpg" alt="TH - New Library is Open!" class="flickr thumbnail set" /></a><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4097/4743446922_1f21990de6.jpg"   class="flickr" title=" &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/57976131@N00/4743446922/in/set-72157600393876443/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[d2e8a53727c4f640bce3cc67d767928f]" ><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4097/4743446922_1f21990de6_t.jpg" alt="TH - Bus depot at the Pond" class="flickr thumbnail set" /></a><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4136/4743436258_bbd7b73e39.jpg"   class="flickr" title="A Six Spot Burnet &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/57976131@N00/4743436258/in/set-72157600393876443/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[d2e8a53727c4f640bce3cc67d767928f]" ><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4136/4743436258_bbd7b73e39_t.jpg" alt="TH - Allotment moth" class="flickr thumbnail set" /></a><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4070/4700964910_55f44f0b47.jpg"   class="flickr" title="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.metamute.org/en/coloured_shadows&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.metamute.org/en/coloured_shadows&lt;/a&gt;

And OK it wouldn't be easy. In an era where Boys Clubs and youth clubs have long gone, existing in a limited capacity only within the (many) churches, there is a correspondingly stronger and established gang culture of the type that relies of this sort of social exclusion for its identity and appeal.
The message is stay isolated, playing screen games and acting out on Facebook, in your bedroom.

Which I think now prefigures the Flickr archive of photos which by now must
picture almost every object in the world. At least incidentally.

It also looked back at the Cabinet of Curiosities, an early Enlightenment
precursor to the museum, which presented a collection of uncommon objects
that provoked thought or wonder. This was before I had much of a notion of
the Enlightenment at least on a academic level.

It is a meditation on the idea that life is fundementally about moving
objects and so changing them or other objects. This also suggests srrasngin
objects and classifying them.

But does this approach leave out or diminish non object based relations? Is
this a commodity mentality that puts objects above activity.

In my study of Kennington Park it was observed that lifeworld actors
preference for resource use was activity, whereas actors more embedded in
systemmic interests preferred that funding go on objects. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/57976131@N00/2693884970/in/set-72157603790784764/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[16da2be628012a3718bf9f0ca8b5bd48]" ><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3093/2693884970_e821035f79_t.jpg" alt="All Objects c1982/3" class="flickr thumbnail set" /></a><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2287/2368287417_e63fb9e49b.jpg"   class="flickr" title="I found patterns (for cutting fabric) in the rubbish left after a street market in Amsterdam... &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/57976131@N00/2368287417/in/set-72157603790784764/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[16da2be628012a3718bf9f0ca8b5bd48]" ><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2287/2368287417_e63fb9e49b_t.jpg" alt="2003b Patterns" class="flickr thumbnail set" /></a><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2250/2218230817_19cf3eaf76.jpg"   class="flickr" title="&amp;quot;Looks like a shipwreck from the 1800s held together with the flotsam and jetsam ! &amp;quot; Peter Ellison (who was there!) &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/57976131@N00/2218230817/in/set-72157603790784764/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[16da2be628012a3718bf9f0ca8b5bd48]" ><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2250/2218230817_19cf3eaf76_t.jpg" alt="SO - Scratch Orchestra Cottage rear view" class="flickr thumbnail set" /></a><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2268/2219020422_df6c97c938.jpg"   class="flickr" title=" &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/57976131@N00/2219020422/in/set-72157603790784764/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[16da2be628012a3718bf9f0ca8b5bd48]" ><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2268/2219020422_df6c97c938_t.jpg" alt="Construction" class="flickr thumbnail set" /></a><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2146/2219011080_8b1916b8a8.jpg"   class="flickr" title=" &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/57976131@N00/2219011080/in/set-72157603790784764/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[16da2be628012a3718bf9f0ca8b5bd48]" ><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2146/2219011080_8b1916b8a8_t.jpg" alt="SO - Cottage building 3" class="flickr thumbnail set" /></a><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2225/2218202639_cf29b707fc.jpg"   class="flickr" title="Quite a challenge for some of the musicians... &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/57976131@N00/2218202639/in/set-72157603790784764/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[16da2be628012a3718bf9f0ca8b5bd48]" ><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2225/2218202639_cf29b707fc_t.jpg" alt="SO - Cottage building 2" class="flickr thumbnail set" /></a><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2194/2218192033_8dcf6d39a2.jpg"   class="flickr" title=" &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/57976131@N00/2218192033/in/set-72157603790784764/&quot;&gt;view&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;flickr&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;" rel="lightbox[16da2be628012a3718bf9f0ca8b5bd48]" ><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2194/2218192033_8dcf6d39a2_t.jpg" alt="SO - Cottage building" class="flickr thumbnail set" /></a><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2300/2218173595_833d717296.jpg"   class="flickr" title="I had suggested people could 'compose' their own panels.

I designed a 'house' that could be made by everyone in the Orchestra. Made in panels using old doors, joists and floor boards  from demolition sites, nailed together. 

Art was considered rubbish. So we had real rubbish and art for sale... I think it was Tim Mitchell who had the idea of the Refuse Collection

ART SPECTRUM London was a big show at Ally Pally with all the 'best' artists of the day. There was David Hockney, a nice installation by Marc Chamowicz etc. So it was a bit of an affront to aesthetics.

This photo print had a rough mask of old tracing paper over the top background.

The references for me are 1. The Plotland vernacular of the UK contemporary slides of which can be found on my Flickr archive. Theorised on:
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stefan-szczelkun.org.uk/taste/Chapter5-Clough&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.stefan-szczelkun.org.uk/taste/Chapter5-Clough&lt;/a&gt; Williams-E.html
2. Getting all those classical musicians and composers actual banging in nails and buidling something. A kind of class engagement with physical production and its aesthetics.
3.  Related also the the urban situation in which many old houses were crudely rehabilitated and perfectly good doors where constantly thrown away - often being used to fence building sites.

Scratch members entered into it in two ways. Cornelius believed it was a task to be completed, not a sculptural opportunity, whereas Peter Ellison and a smaller gang used the framework of old joists (4x2) to hold together a more sculptural arrangement.  
These were mainly to be seen around the back! See other photo in this set...

Later in the 1990s I was  member of a self-build group and actually built my own house in Kennington (completed 1996). During this time, at the '25 Years from Scratch' event at the ICA in 1994 London, I set up an improvisation using building tools and materials. I think it was called 'Self-Build' There is a recording of this somewhere...
