Radical Temperance looks at alternatives to the City of London's hyper-capitalism and its self-serving use of technology. Responding to the studio's agenda of Designing Politics, this project critically retlects on existing models of social relationships and access to technology.

Introducing the idea of temperance to oppose the technologic alarms race and growing replacement of human social roles by machines, it draws lessons from Icarus and his fall.

In response to the studio's brief, Imagining Collaborative Futures, the proposal gives agency to a radical arts movement of digital secessionists who use arts and crafts to create a virtual world that uses technology to realise a socialist agenda of democratic open access. The proposal develops an open, public building, featuring a theatre arena with reverberating corridors for a political dialogue. Furthermore, the overall presentation goes beyond the page to embody its core traditional into digital dialectic by incorporating augment reality experiences accessible via QR codes embedded within its final pages.
