Sarah Wigglesworth visited BAS 28th and 29th of January.

Her lecture was called Reasearching the everyday.

Sarah Wigglesworth runs her office Sarah Wigglesworth Architects in London. She also teaches at The School of Architecture at the University of Sheffield.
 

Her straw house in Islington was exhibited in the exhibition; scratching the surface in London and from the catalogue you can read;

“The project explores the meanings of domesticity and work in the 21st century. It uses the Surrealist technique of strange conjunctions to challenge our assumptions and expectations about meaning of things. Just as the spaces of the building swap spatial typologies, so the facades swap identities with their “other”. Moreover it aims to posit a new aesthetic for ecological architecture by the eclectic way it uses different types of materials including farm waste, recycled products as well as both high and low technologies.”
