No Place Like HomeIn collaboration with The University of Brighton and several academics, architects and artists, Scott Brownrigg is holding a series of week-long research installation projects that will take place between November 2009 and February 2010, at our gallery in Covent Garden. Initiated by Scott Brownrigg and Dr Ivana Wingham, senior lecturer at The University of Brighton, No Place Like Home aims to explore the design of public spaces through experimental projects that hope to engage the architectural community, academics and the public. Since it’s commencement No Place Like Home has attracted widespread interest and support from the public, practice and academia. As such it is beginning to achieve its aims of creating dialogue between these public space stakeholders. The project features in Blueprint Magazine’s January 2010 article ’25 Who Will Change Architecture and Design in 2010’, recognising the forward looking, experimental nature of the project.

Each installation in the series focuses on one of four European cities - Athens, London, Tallinn and Milan - exploring how history, personal or public boundaries, narratives and cultural pre-conceptions might be used as design tools to transform a public space. In our times of a global economy, global networking and global architecture, the installations will examine our specific, individual encounters with these global cities. As the American artist Vito Acconci’s commented about this personal experience, “public space is leaving home’.
Venue: Scott Brownrigg, 77 Endell Street, London, WC2H 9DZ Map A lecture and debate evening, in relation to each installation, will take place on the Thursday evening of each week from 6pm to 8pm, to discuss the issues raised by the installations and the week’s public commentary.
