In a disagreement over the preservation of Christ Church, Spitalfields, a newly designed and built nursery is now the subject of demolition. St George-in-the-East Church will be the new site for a collaborative design that uses machine learning to generate bespoke plans, with the hopes of reaching a compromise.

The project sets up machine learning models that are derived from Hawksmoorian design which is capable of producing bespoke church plans in a new site. The building must also satisfy the inhabitants, so additionally the children of the nursery collaborate with me, the architect and mediator. Using hand drawing, clay fabrication and digital modelling the building becomes a chimeric object of a brand-new language with multiple authors to produce a new nursery within the empty church walls of St George-in-the-East.
