Roman Bath - Strand Lane

Following on from the statement below I have begun to look at King's College and the surrounding area. On College land, within the parish of St Clement Danes sits a Roman Bath. Neglected, it is more likely Tudor but is classed as Roman in Dickens' David Copperfield. Of interest to me was the location of the baths within King's, how the College has evolved and expanded, the excessive civic pride of Reverend William Pennington-Bickford, and the future of the parish. I have drawn the bath and made a model of explore the phenomenological aspects of the space. 


The year's research so far is building to a project within King's Quadrangle as a means to reassert a public space, give the University a civic role, design a new School of Law, avoid the typological destruction of Somerset House's Eastern Wing, and provide a more coherent link from church to Quadrangle to the Thames. All of this has the intention of making the good quality spaces that people want to inhabit.

For more information on the Bath. I feel no need to reproduce the excellent research that Michael Trapp has done on the subject.
