Following an eco-communist uprising, Oxford Street is reimagined as a Shinjuku-esque bohemia of high density, human scale amenities. Bars, kiosks, hairdressers and tailors reclaim and occupy the wide and imposing streetscape in an effort to undermine the monumentality of the existing Capitalist architecture, in a reversal of Haussmann’s plan for Paris, all sharing common design features developed through methods of chance operation.
