Martin Self introduces Design and Make 2014-15.
Design & Make Staff: Martin Self, Kate Darby, Charley Brentnall, Mark Campbell.
Students of MArch Design & Make use the realisation of buildings as a vehicle for design research, developing modes of architectural design that integrate full-scale making. Based at Hooke Park, the AA’s woodland campus in Dorset, they inhabit an environment that combines studio, workshop, building site and forest, as part of a wider rural community of rich craft tradition. Working within a masterplan for the extension of the campus, student teams design and construct experimental buildings at Hooke Park. With access to the woodland as a source of building material and to Hooke Park’s wood-working facilities, timber-building technologies underlie the programme’s agendas.
