Anarchitecture Week 2005
London, 17th– 26th June 2005

The Space Hijackers Present:

Running alongside the official 'Architecture Week' we have something much more fun up our sleeves.

Anarchitecture week is a celebration of resistance to corporate occupation of space.

It celebrates the misuses, subversions, and hijacks of contemporary architecture in a fun and informative way, exploring architecture and the built environment from the perspective of those who try to reclaim control over their own environment.

Events include a tour of Oxford Street pointing out the tricks shops use to make us buy, An attempt to double the annual pedestrian count for London's ugliest tunnel, A new product launch from the MUTI corporation, The Nexus Chainstore Massacre (does what it says on the tin), A tennis match across the Thames, trapeese on the tube and A tour of Calafornia in Derby.

Culminating in a Scurvy Ridden Pirate Party on a reclaimed island in Central London, this
promises to be a week never to forget...
