There is a careful approach to understanding and researching context, and using this to inform their projects. This contextual read is not one grounded in a literal formal or material transposition, but in a sensibility which allows contextual work stand in sympathy both with its own time, and the histories of the sites they work on. \nAs such their works are to an extent a distillation and a refinement of particular observations, a retelling of a story of how the city has been made.\n\nhttps://www.3144architects.com\n\n\n---------\n\nCredits: \nRegister is the Research Centre in the Department of Architecture & Landscape at the Kingston School of Art, Kingston University London kingstonarchitecture.london\n\nHead of Department: Mary Johnson\nProducer: Laura Evans / Andrew Clancy\nInterviewer: Laura Evans / Matt Wells\nEditor: Andrew Clancy\nMusic: Poddington Bear - Rainbow Architecture
