±¬ÁÏÍõ

Exhibition dates: 20th September - 19th November

Celebrating the first one hundred years of Architecture, Design and Planning at the ±¬ÁÏÍõ, this exhibition highlights the innovative, radical, creative, and pioneering spirit of the school; spanning multiple disciplines, mediums and time periods.

The exhibition takes the form of a site-specific installation assembled throughout the gallery. Inspiration for its design was drawn from the activities of the Architectural Science discipline throughout the 1960-70s, where large experimental constructs were built to test a variety of materials and forms.

Composed solely of aluminium and scaffold, the high tensile surfaces act as an abstract topography of time; where flux, rupture, and continuity reveal layers of the school’s history.

Wide ranging contributions and activities by both students and staff were on display including; examples of work from the founder of the School, Professor Leslie Wilkinson; public works of Ellice Maud Nosworthy - one of the first of nine to graduate at the school in 1922; the student built ‘Autonomous House’ of 1974-78; the activist architecture of Col James; and work by former student Robert Woodward, designer of the iconicÌý‘El Alamein Memorial Fountain’ of Kings Cross.
