| Summary: | In a world dominated by hyper-specialization, there are few architects that inhabit multiple areas consistently through their career. Procter-Rihl is a multidisciplinary studio that navigates between architecture, furniture, product design, exhibition and landscaping. Procter-Rihl believes that architecture should be culturally and climate responsive, engaging with its place but also challenging. Unlike a typical contextual approach, the work creates tension between the vernacular and a new aesthetic. These contradictions add a layer of complexity to the reading of the architecture. Spatially, the practice explores complex geometries, which create dynamic experiences. Diagonal juxtaposition or a simple shift, or stretching of, a traditional form can produce an illusion of greater space. In their furniture work the studio is known for light structure and transparent acrylic where cut edges define a form based on the drawn line. This book comprises four parts or actions, fold, perforate, float and weave. Each chapter illustrates the practice s design method and way of working, highlighting key elements in construction. |
