伦敦教区已经通过Genesis实现了对圣哥伦巴东伦敦社区的愿景：一艘新的宽幅运河船，冠以创新的弹出式屋顶，由伦敦的建筑师Denizen Works设计。这艘驳船被委托作为一个移动的集会空间，停泊在伊丽莎白女王奥林匹克公园的Here East旁边的Lee河航道上，在到达其他运河边社区之前，它将在那里停留三到五年。Genesis是与Turks Shipyard和海军建筑师Tony Tucker密切合作开发的，它被设想为一个现代任务，在未来25年内与伦敦东部运河周围不断增长的社区发展联系。

The Diocese of London has realised its vision for the St Columba East London community, with Genesis: a new, wide-beam canal boat crowned with an innovative pop-up roof, designed by London-based architects Denizen Works. The barge, commissioned as a mobile assembly space, is moored on the River Lee Navigation alongside Here East at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, where it will remain for three to five years before reaching other canalside communities. Developed in close collaboration with Turks Shipyard and naval architect Tony Tucker, Genesis is conceived as a modern-day mission, developing links with growing communities living around the canal in East London over the next 25 years.

它的流动性和方案的灵活性将确保在关键的更新地点，包括Sweetwater、Eastwick和Hackney Wick，为不同的社区带来持久的好处。除了作为教堂的空间外，驳船的内部设计还具有定制和适应性，可容纳广泛的社区活动和服务，包括父母和幼儿团体、艺术课程、跨信仰庆祝活动、午餐和晚餐俱乐部、现场音乐、就业培训和咨询。Denizen Works的创新设计以风琴波纹管为灵感的动感屋顶为特色。

Its mobility and flexibility of programme will ensure lasting benefits to the diverse neighbourhoods at key regeneration sites, which include Sweetwater, Eastwick and Hackney Wick. As well as serving as a space for a church, the barge is designed with a bespoke and adaptable interior to accommodate a wide range of community activities and services, including parent and toddler groups, art classes, interfaith celebrations, lunch and supper clubs, live music, employment training, and counselling. Denizen Works’ innovative design features a kinetic roof inspired by organ bellows.

它由半透明的帆布制作而成，内衬LED灯，并由液压滑轮驱动。当完全升起时，屋顶将使驳船从紧凑和低洼处转变，使其能够通过桥梁下方，扩展成一个照明灯塔，旨在吸引注意力，并吸引人流到任务中。只需轻触按钮，在其升起的位置，它就会将驳船的头部高度提高到最高点的3.6米，从而创造出一个人人都能进入的戏剧性内部空间。漂浮的中心在船的中部；入口的一侧是主要的集会空间，服务设施（厨房、办公室和厕所）在驳船的后部。

It has been crafted from concertinaed, translucent sailcloth, and is lined with LED lights and powered by hydraulic rams. When fully raised, the roof will transform the barge from compact and low-lying, allowing it to pass beneath bridges, expanding into an illuminated beacon designed to capture attention and attract footfall to the mission. Operated by the touch of a button, in its raised position it increases the head height of the barge to 3.6m at its highest point, creating a dramatic interior that is accessible to all. The floating hub is boarded midship; on one side of the entrance is the main assembly space, with services (kitchen, office, and toilet) towards the rear of the barge.

在内部，Denizen Works创造了一个优雅和无缝的内部空间，由浅色胶合板墙和绿色油毡地板组成。它内置了Valchromat长椅，沿着房间的周边提供座位和储物空间，并安装了航海风格的舱壁灯，以营造舒适的氛围。家具由本地设计公司Plyco设计，包括定制设计的胶合板凳子和可折叠的桌子，供公共活动和服务使用。由Denizen Works设计的祭坛也已制作完成，祭坛的正面有棱有角，就像船头一样，可以折叠成一个平面，方便存放。

Inside, Denizen Works has created an elegant and seamless interior of light plywood walls and green linoleum floor. It has built-in Valchromat benches providing seating and storage along the perimeter of the room and is fitted with marine-style bulkhead lights to create a cosy atmosphere. The furniture, designed by local design company Plyco, includes custom-designed plywood stools and foldable tables for use at public events and services. An altar designed by Denizen Works featuring an angled-front face like the prow of a boat has also been fabricated and is designed to fold down into a flat for easy storage.

波纹管上的船帆缝线被应用于整个设计中，并贯穿于许多室内细节，包括窗户的铝制纱窗，其设计灵感来自于船头纱窗；厨房的瓷砖图案；以及定制家具的腿部形式。这个主题在外部重复出现，由当地的一位标语作家绘制的楣，包裹着动感屋顶的表面。

The sail stitching used on the bellows has been applied as a motif throughout the design and is carried through to a number of interior details, including aluminium screens to the windows, the design of which is inspired by rood screens; the pattern of the tiling in the kitchen; and in the form of the legs of the bespoke furniture. The motif is repeated externally in a frieze painted by a local sign writer that wraps the face of the kinetic roof.
