Taking the form of a three-way conversation between the Drawing Matter Archive’s architect, Hugh Strange, Norwegian-Australian photographer Max Creasy, and Swedish academic, architect and writer Elizabeth Hatz, this book not only offers a subtly poetic and expansive vantage on the Archive, the collection it houses and its place in the surrounding farm, but also forwards a wider précis on the built form; one in which architecture is layered, living and lived.
London-based office Hugh Strange Architects has developed a reputation for producing buildings that marry an attention to material and structure with precise, contextually considered responses to sensitive urban and rural sites. Strange's Architectural Archive was nominated for the 2015 European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award, and won RIBA National and Regional Awards the same year.
