Conversations on Colour
2018

At HawkinsBrown, we carried out a series of interviews with artists and architects who engage with colour in their work and have done so in hugely successful and inspiring ways, in order to exchange knowledge on the subject. These conversations have been published into a series of booklets for inspiration.

Archmedium Competition- Switchboard


Third Prize Winner

In collaboration with Matthew Rosier (UCL), David Jones (University of Cambridge) and Martino Gasparinni (University of Westminster)

Each of the 51 inhabitable towers at The Switchboard corresponds to one of each of San Francisco's 51 existing city fire stations. Whenever one of the fire stations in the city is experiencing activity, (such as a fire engine being called to an emergency situation), its corresponding tower at the HQ becomes illuminated from further distances such as the Oakland Bay Bridge, or perhaps from deeper into the city (where the towers appear an indistinguishable mass). The HQ can be seen as a poetic and ethereal illuminated indicator of the general level of fire department activity in the city, serving as a homage to the fire fighters of San Francisco.

Each of the fire station towers is numbered and inhabited by individuals working in partnership with their cities' corresponding fire station. Connecting pathways, allow the fire station to become a civic space, where the public may walk between the towers and experience the changes in spatial atmosphere as the towers lighten and darken, as well as discover both historical and live information relating to that department. The public may also look into the shallow pool of beneath their feet and see the mechanical facilities, staff social spaces and vehicles- the life's blood of the fire station headquarters. The San Francisco Headquarters act as the visual link between the fire department and the city for whom they service.



Archmedium Competition- Overground Civic Playground, Underground Art City

Honourable Mention
In collaboration with Matthew Rosier

The Basel pavilion of culture proposes two new civic spaces; above ground, a multi-use playground encouraging engagement with the surrounding environment and with existing architecture, and below ground, a 'subterranean art city'. Playground equipment playfully integrates into the underground world, creating a fluid boundary between inside and outside. A microcosm of art galleries below, encourage an engagement between artists and visitors, as the visitor experiences a rich wealth of evolving Swiss art in the presence of those who make it.
