Sericulture Lab The aim of the building is to purify the area of Charlton through the choice of material on the external facade and the use of the mulberry tree. The building was set out to be an iconic building that represents Charlton and for it to become a place of entertainment, knowledge and small business set up, especially targeted at people within the fashion industry. By doing this I will be bringing back the undervalued heritage of Charlton using the mulberry tree as a primary focus. I am designing a multi functional building with a 24 hour use space which will be the bar (this can be hired out for event purposes) and a rented workshop for business incubation and young entrepreneurs.
