Dr. Marco Spada, Senior Lecturer in Architecture at the University of Suffolk, has written an article for the Italian Journal of Architecture, on contemporary architecture in Cambridge. In the article he refers to our three Cambridge projects, the WongAvery Gallery, Jesus College and Magdalebe Library. You can visit the article here.
Acknowledging that architecture is a corpus of inherited ideas, Alternative Histories invited more than 80 contemporary practices in the UK and Europe to imagine an exchange with architects from the past. Each office was assigned a different drawing from the collection of Drawing Matter. The architects were then tasked with making a model that not only responded to what they saw, but envisioned an alternative future for the original drawing while adhering to the constraints of the project
Our practice was given Basil Spence’s sketch for the enlargement of the Houses of Parliament. To view our response to this project please visit the Drawing Matter website here.
