An open letter to architects and other creatives

Following the prime minister’s triggering of Article 50, today we officially
launch Londonon and an open call for interest from London based architects and
creatives as a direct response to the government’s challenge to explore global
opportunity.

It is undeniable that we are at a critical juncture in international politics,
cultural identity and urban development. However, as creatives based in one of
the most intense and thriving international cities, we are in a unique position.
We can, and must, look outward to learn from others and share our own stories as
well.

Londonon is a rolling research and residency programme in cities around the
globe run by collaborating London-based architects and creatives. We pool
resources, question, collaborate, make and experience, to broaden our minds,
expand our reach and widen our worldview.

Londonon is conceived as a filter for ambitious, small to medium-sized creative
practices, through a non-profit organisational structure. We desire to learn
about our host city, our own conditions in London, and ourselves in a global
situation.

The programme will follow the outlined Brexit timetable, starting with a period
of planning and research, followed by a recurring three-month placement for
select individuals from involved organisations. Team members will work alongside
local practices, cultural and education bodies, government agencies and other
invested stakeholders to respond to shared urban challenges. At the end of 24
months, when Ms May’s negotiation period expires, we will host an exhibition of
our findings.

Londonon was soft launched at the Department of International Trade pavilion at
MIPIM 2017 by way of a roundtable debate with representatives of the Londonon
programme along with industry representatives from the architectural profession,
the UK Department of International Trade and members of the UK press. We are now
inviting likeminded professionals to take back control of our own aspirations,
ambitions and ultimately creative processes.

Londonon is set to express our capital’s strengths. We are adaptive, light
footed, rich, intensive, open minded, understanding, welcoming. Most
importantly, we will express the optimistic entrepreneurial spirit this city
reinforces in each of us.

Come and join our conversation.

In February 2019 representatives of the Londonon collective travelled to Paris
with the aim to question humanity’s relationship with food. Our contribution to
the Library of the 2019 Oslo Architecture Triennale studies the impact that the
lifecycle of food has on the shaping of our culture, geography and the urban
grain of cities worldwide. Read more

We have used Paris as a paradigmatic case study of a city with a unique role in
world gastronomy that has food engrained at the very core of its being. The
ambition of our study was to exhibit a forensic under- standing of food
production, distribution, preparation, consumption and waste by displaying the
mapping of our own shared experience of the ‘Parisian Dinner Table’ through
mixed media.

‘Degrowth Degustation’ is a journal, in the form of an anthology of articles
written by various participants of the Londonon journey. The journal outlines
the narrative of our growing understanding the 2019 Oslo Architecture Triennale
theme ’degrowth’ - through food.

Inspired by the visionary attitude which Marinetti attempted to express in his
‘Futurist Cookbook’ (1931) , ‘Degrowth Dégustation’ challenges the food
processes we take for granted by presenting facts, statistics, anecdotes and
stories discovered throughout our Paris expedition and further explored in our
London home.

The collaborative aspect of our recipe book is an invitation to celebrate the
conviviality inherent in the sharing of food and that stem from food and our
fundamental need to eat.
