Details is the new publication by CLTH building research team, a group of four architects who, apart from making interesting buildings, love thinking about architectural details. What makes them good or bad, what they say about a building, an architect, a place, or a movement in history. If a building can manifest how we think, how does a detail speak about the whole? Can you have good details and a bad building? Or a good building made out of bad details? These and other questions are explored in this new publication made out of a series of beautifully illustrated collectible pamphlets.
Arnaud Desjardin, founder of The Everyday Press, is the publisher behind this project. Arnaud has a background as a book seller of rare and out of print art books. His decision to start a publishing company was born out of a desire to publish the kind of art books that museums, galleries and other commercial publishers are not producing today. This is how Everyday Press began making collaborative artists books that sets them apart from the norm. Each publication follows a different design process, depending on the subject and the artists involved in the project.
For ESSEX Architecture Weekend, the Details team took on Essex producing a beautiful drawing series of the radical properties of the county. Radical ESSEX Details is available to buy from Focal Point Gallery, Southend-on-Sea, and soon available to purchase online.
Silver End, Braintree District, United KingdomRadical Essex is a project re-examining the county in relation to radicalism in thought, lifestyle, politics and architecture. A programme of events will take place across Essex throughout 2016 and 2017, shedding light on the vibrant, pioneering thinking of the late 19th and 20th centuries. The project will celebrate the crucial role Essex has played in the history of British Modernism and its utopian ideologies under the themes ‘The Modernist County’ and ‘Arcadia for All’.
The Radical Essex site is designed by Fraser Muggeridge studio and Alex Rich, developed by Twelve.
Radical Essex is led by Focal Point Gallery in collaboration with Visit Essex and Firstsite. Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England it forms part of the country wide Cultural Destinations programme, a partnership with VisitEngland, supporting arts organisations to work with the tourism sector to deliver projects that maximise the impact culture has on local economies.
