In 2009, when I was already studying graphic design at CSM, I had to do a project about the river Thames. We had to tell a story, any story, about something near/in the river. It could be about the architecture, the typeface, the water etc.
I chose to investigate the abandoned constructions near the river. Most of them were power stations or factories. I researched about the history of those places and I went there to take pictures. Before going to the sites I would first see how/where it was on Google street view, and that's what I did before going to Chambers Wharf in Bermondsey.

When I got there I couldn't see these buildings, the place looked very different, I thought I was in the wrong place. What actually happened was that Google maps was outdated and all those buildings had been demolished, I was in the right place, and there was only a tiny piece of the building left that was still going to be teared down.
