这是由architectenbureau wil-ma设计的伦敦可爬式城市避难所。设计团队在设计过程中，不断思考“当一个人想逃离社会返归精神的自我时，我们能去哪里？”。方案试图在运河边的自然公园以北创建一个冥想空间。这是一个无法识别的形态，用以唤醒游客和路人的好奇心。它激活了人们的感官，让人们望见它自圣潘克拉斯车站上方抬升，感受其材质、纹理，从而感觉真正远离城市生活的压力。

建筑首层是12间避难所，上方覆盖着空中公共平台。公共庭院只能从公共楼梯通达。由于规模较小，平台可以形成亲密的聚会场所，作为底层空间的延伸。为了丰富该设施的体验，设计团队鼓励爬上这里眺望伦敦，艺术家们可以在这空白的混凝土墙体涂鸦。

within the dense context of the present-day metropolis, it is easy to fall into the background of society. never alone and always together, the question arises asking, ‘when an individual wishes to escape back into oneself for a moment and be spiritual, where can we go?’ in order to compensate, people bury their faces into the screens of their smartphones or plug in their headphones to turn down the volume of the noisy city. the problem with this scenario is that as much as communities need extroversion to collaborate towards common goals, nothing is truly fulfilling the need for deeply personal introversion. but what if architecture could provide this desire for reflection? this is the thought process of architectenbureau wil-ma in regards to their project, ‘faith that the sky is not falling’.

the proposal attempts to create a space for intimate meditation within the context of an urban peninsula situated in the grand union canal basin, north of camley street natural park. an unrecognizable form is applied to awaken the curiosity of visitors and passersby alike. it activates the senses, allowing people to see its mass rise above the train track of st. pancras station, touch the textures of its materials, and feel as if they’re truly within an environment away from the worries of urban life.

twelve personal sanctuaries are accessible at ground level, covered by the hovering public platform. the shaft of each shrine frames a fragment of the ever-changing sky above as they protrude and taper upwards out of the floor plate, letting daylight to filter deep down into the otherwise dark void. the civic podium is suspended in order to form a spatial break with the surroundings and is accessible only by existing public stairs. due to its relatively small scale, the terrace can be described as an intimate gathering place, serving as an introduction to the segmented programs below.

along with envisioning the building’s scheme, the designers have also imagined how each zone can be used to enhance the experience of the facility. as such, they encourage that the sanctuary shafts be climbed to give unexpected views of london, artists are welcome to spray paint graffiti on the blank concrete body, and leaping from the second floor into the water is not frowned upon. the architecture is integrated into the existing urban fabric, but rebels against the tightness of the thread.
