UK studios POOR Collective<\/a> and Wiggle Wonderland have designed an artwork-covered pavilion<\/a> to draw attention to the City of London<\/a>‘s night workers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Named Unheard Voices in the City, the colourful open-air pavilion was designed by Wiggle Wonderland<\/a> to frame a series of artworks designed by POOR Collective<\/a> in collaboration with local night-shift workers.<\/p>\n

The pavilion was located in St Bartholomew’s Hospital courtyard as part of this summer’s London Festival of Architecture, and designed for the London Museum<\/a>\u00a0to celebrate the City of London<\/a>‘s night-shift workers.<\/p>\n

According to Living Wage Foundation<\/a> research, 26 per cent of the workforce in London work at night or during the evening.<\/p>\n

“The main concept for the installation was to spotlight the unheard voices of the City of London’s night market traders, hospital staff and black cab drivers,” POOR Collective architectural designer Akmaral Khassen told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“The artwork was co-designed with Smithfield’s night-time communities, celebrating their stories.”<\/p>\n

Each of the bold artworks was created in collaboration with night workers, with POOR Collective conducting surveys and drawing sessions at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, Fabric nightclub and Ferrari’s 24-hour cafe.<\/p>\n

“Night workers play a vital role in the City of London’s functioning, but there is limited data on their needs and experiences,” said Khassen.<\/p>\n

“Through thoughtful dialogue and research, we uncovered the aspirations, stories, and experiences of these communities, while also discovering more about the hidden nightlife that shapes the city.”<\/p>\n
