The new centre will be located in its own landscape and will be a
dynamic zinc and cast stone building, consisting of three gallery
spaces, artists' studios, a shop and a central courtyard, with
undulating roofs to echo the surrounding Clwydian hills.
In this presentation, the architects explored how they approached the design and how the practice's
central desire to transform and re-interpret the conditions of the
everyday and the familiar came into practice with this specific
commission.
Chaired by Tom Dyckhoff, Architecture Critic, The Times.
