Camden Art Centre: Architects in Residence

CamdenArts_title-page.jpg
The Camden Arts Centre invited erect architecture to propose a nature trail in the Centre’s garden.

In collaboration with artist Ashley McCormick we curated and implemented a year-long programme of events at the gallery which explored people’s relationships with the gallery's garden throughout the seasons.

Highlights of the year included a family overnight camp in the garden and a pecha kucha event.

During the Pecha Kucha a choreographer, two scientists, a poet and a psycho-geographer interpreted the garden and led guided walks through the garden.

The project culminated in a week long on-site residency during which the public was invited to conceive final physical interventions in the garden.

The idea of participative design was pushed to an extreme when we developed a system by which participants developed models for propositions based on previous participants models.

Several propositions were built. The interventions are the beginning of a nature trail in the centre’s garden.
