Two abandoned dry docks sit on the edge of the river Thames, patiently waiting for their next story to be written. Overgrown by weeds, they sit as two water vessels, reflecting the time that goes by and catching cyclists’ eyes as they surprise them on their journey along the Thames Path. Once one of England’s most prolific dockyards, now a silent hole in the everchanging city.

The Dynamic Duo is centred around the idea of changing the narrative of these dry docks from Henry VIII’s Woolwich Dockyard. If left as they are, they stand as a symbol of conquest, defeat, and pain. The ships created within them attacked nations around the world in the search for more. More power, more land, more riches. What if, instead, it could be a place where people come together? Instead of searching for more elsewhere, what if the site could attract people to explore more within?
