Stephen Taylor Architects: Intimacies
6 – 23 February 2009
Stephen Taylor Architects, Charlotte Street
Intimacies is an exhibition of recent projects and selected work by Stephen Taylor Architects from 2003 to the present. The projects in this exhibition range in scale from that of a mixed use building in Shoreditch to a piece of city in Worcester. At both scales of house and city, themes of intimacy and proximity are explored in the making of places for human habitation.
Balancing privacy with community, these projects embrace the social possibilities of streets, passages and courtyards and consider threshold conditions between their public and private environments.
Within the towns and villages in which these projects lie, many of them look to the past for inspiration about physical distances between buildings, scale and proximity and consider what it is to be private within an urban environment today.
