SILK WEAVERS OF SPITALFIELDS

by Akramul Azur Askaari

The proposed building has been designed to be utilised by a variety of people, such as the local community, people interested in both history and fashion, tourists, as well as people visiting the market. The building aims to enrich knowledge on the history of the textile economy in Spitalfields and how the Huguenots impacted the industry and therefore, it is important to learn how the first refugees influenced both the fashion and textile economy.The building interweaves itself well with the site, as the local economy prominently consists of textile shops. Thus, Petticoat Lane is deemed a suitable site, as the proposed building and surrounding context works in harmony.
