Our Canary Wharf
Developing Canary Wharf community by applying human face to the sterile architecture.
Visionary, hyper modern, architecture and urban spaces of Canary Wharf are home to various major banks and businesses with around 1,300,000 square meters of office and retail space and 105,000 employees.
Perfectly organised and well maintained grounds of Canary Wharf are private property and the subject of camera surveillance and many regulations and restrictions.
They are however also a daily home to thousands of real people, who are doing real jobs and spending most of the week in the buildings that appear to be removed from the real world. They walk amongst each other without talking to each other or ever meeting or exchanging a smile.
The proposition is to introduce the real people of Canary Wharf to the working community to encourage the seance of belonging and develop closer interaction among the members of that community.
Who are the people of Canary Wharf?
Big portrait boards of everyday people from Canary Wharf set in front of the main Tube station will welcome morning crowds with friendly smiley face- I am John.
Posters will be changed periodically, and new faces will be displayed for everyone to meet.
Also, giving the colour to the pedestrian surfaces are aiming to lighten up the area.
