Wed in London

Film

Wed in London takes a voyage through three gems of London’s architectural history past to present: James Gould’s St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate (1729), Thomas Edward Collcutt’s The Savoy (1889), and Foster and Partners’ 30 St Mary Axe (‘The Gherkin’) (2003). Experiencing these spaces through the lens of a contemporary metropolitan wedding, Wed in London reveals the ways in which these important cultural spaces present themselves for use in present day. Based on Simon Unwin’s (1997) conjecture that built work has “more to do with making frames than painting pictures”, Wed in London takes a simplistic look at a set of key moments unfolding within the generous frame of these important architectural artefacts.
