New Architects

Promoting emerging architects and designers is a key part of The Architecture Foundation’s activities. The third ‘Public Views’ exhibitions gave an excellent opportunity for up and coming architects to exhibit their work. The theme behind Public Views 3 was inspiration and influences.

Three young practices, Houlton Taylor, Dow Jones and Patrick Lynch, presented their design processes in a collaborative exhibition. Having designed a variety of projects including, respectively, a residential school in Cumbria, a new build house in Suffolk and a community centre in Newham, they represent an emerging temperament in architecture.

Focusing upon the mechanisms that make up a studio-practice, the exhibition reassembles elements of their working space, treating the gallery as a meeting room in which to encounter people and ideas.
The installation gives us the opportunity to engage in the architects’ design process from their inspiration and initial responses to site and space, through to developing working drawings that result in the finished built projects.

The catalogue extends the thinking with contributions from artists, photographers, film-makers, architects and writers, including Sue Barr, Tim Bell, Rut Blees Luxemburg, Irina Davidovich, Trevor Garnham, William Mann, Martyn Simpson, Richard Wentworth and Mark Aerial Waller. Encounters offers an insight into the creative process of making, designing, and building buildings with images of the practices’ work.
