The Modern House has showcased select architects’ sketches and thoughts on work and daily life during the Covid lockdown.
Excerpt from Carl Trenfield:
‘Separately, my sketch book has been increasingly filled with chaos: themes around solid and void, light and dark, compression and release. It’s part prompted by an upcoming project where we are to work with chalk and play with directed weathering, whilst also exploring the creation of form as if both ruinous and rising from the cliff – that starkness of the white is hypnotic.
By inking or using permanent marker, subsequent pages allow for a kind of archaeological opportunity – with the sketch but also as a concept about how you might occupy a previously developed site, working with prior foundations as if scarred ruins.’
