Works of the Strand Bridge (taken in the Year 1815).
Drawn by Edw. Blore. Engraved by George Cooke. Jan. 1, 1817

For inspiration I focused on architecture like Diller and Scofidio's 'Church of Solitude'


The structure of the proposed building is comprised of timber frame, supposedly some of which built with random materials collected by the inhabitant. The spherical structure of the main volumes is chosen specifically to resist the earth pressure and to provide maximum space without columns and beams. It also enables easy expansion, which is crucial for the way of life of the Old Drinker.




The site is located in an industrial area near the docklands of Nottingham, UK.
This location will provide the Old Drinker with constant supply of different discarded goods from the nearby docks and different opportunities for expanding his 'burrow'.
