^{An incidental meeting of parts

Architecture sometimes does not solve anything.
Instead it can create an entirely new set of problems that need to be
fixed.

This thesis realises how techniques of theatre can be used to subvert developer-led public spaces designed for management. The resulting redesign of a vital public square as an ‘urban carpet’ takes its lessons from Peter Brook’s theatre. The carpet transforms
the landscape of Wembley Park over 90 years by establishing an
alternative phasing strategy, new standardised materials, and revised construction techniques. These methods are designed to orchestrate incidental encounters between people and place, creating a heterogeneous landscape
of difference and possibility.
