Under Construction, Takeshi Hayatsu & Collaborators, Launched for London Design Festival 2024, 14 September – 20 December 2024, Stanley Picker Gallery, Kingston University, London
Under Construction is an evolving collaborative architecture project, under construction at the Stanley Picker Gallery throughout September – December 2024. The exhibition surveys more than a decade of ambitious live-build projects guided by architect Takeshi Hayatsu, working with students and a growing cohort of participants and community partners (including The Community Brain, Citizen Zoo, 121 Collective and more). Throughout the exhibition an entirely new live build will take place at the gallery developed with the 2024-25 cohort of Unit 5 MArch students from the Department of Architecture & Landscape at Kingston School of Art, Kingston University, London. This will include a temporary rammed earth Shrine outside the entrance and a Sauna on the Gallery’s riverside terrace.
