Studio 2: Ordinary Resilience Tutors:
Jack Mutton, Harriet Sutcliffe This year studio 2 is engaged in ideas concerning context, historical narrative and materials that create enduring architecture in search of a wider intelligibility. Working through a process of research, rather than invention, we are looking to create architecture that is rooted in place and explores the experiential potential of materials, carefully pieced together in a celebration of craft and construction. We are looking to create architecture that is contemporary yet not isolated in time. We studied the city alongside works of art from artists such as Marcel Duchamp, Rachel Whiteread, Eduardo Paolozzi, and Man Ray. These observations formed the basis of our proposals and in search of delight in the everyday city we looked to create enduring buildings with a resilient character and sense of permanence. Working on large, urban sites we investigated how to create a new piece of city that will become home to a range of university buildings.
