Project Base for use by gallery as home for Bold Tendencies art festival
Led and supervised by Andrew Budd, a group of post graduate students from the school of architecture have designed and built a two storey structure in response to an invitation by the Hannah Barry Gallery to make proposals for a year round home for their acclaimed Bold Tendencies art festival, which is sited in a multi-storey car park in central Peckham.
The proposal provides an infrastructure of clean, secure and functional spaces, which support the range of activities that the event requires. Situated within an old furniture store that is now used as gallery space the Project Base is articulated as a building within a building, a room within a room; a simply detailed timber construction clad in unfinished cement board and topped by a lantern that both responds to the existing buildings form and offers a particular interior character.
Built on site over a period of three weeks the project offered the students an opportunity to appreciate the importance of building and making as the final expression of the architects intent.
