The RA Summer Exhibition is on from the 14 June—22 August 2010. The architecture room has been curated by David Chipperfield this year and looks well worth a visit. See the BD link for a review and photos and the RA site for opening times etc.
Unit B Responsive Architecture was a 2nd and 3rd year vertical degree unit at Oxford Brookes University.
We are concerned with site sensitive architecture that relates to its time and place, continuously adjusting, responding and reacting to fit itself to the present state of its environment and inhabitants. Nothing stays still. Indeed the only constant could be said to be change itself. It seems that reaction and interaction are pre-requisites for inhabiting an environment and sheltering occupants in such a level of flux. Why therefore should architecture be static?
