Our contemporary condition, governed by the abstract apparatus of
the capitalist market, demands a critical reading of the
distribution, ownership, and use of common resources such as land.
This is especially true in Britain with its long history of
privatisation stemming from land enclosure. The latest research
campaign of Laboratory Basel (laba), a satellite studio of the
Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, investigated the English
manor house and how it can serve as a testing ground to reassess
Britain's complex and ongoing relationship with the countryside.
The south-west of England, the most rural region of one of the more
densely populated countries in Europe, reflects all the absurdities
of a globalised country under pressure to develop economically,
physically and environmentally. Highly protected landscapes, both
natural and composed, form the backdrop to historic seats of
political power and wealth, whilst sites of intense modern
productivity are neatly concealed behind natural veils. Manor
Lessons: Commons Revisited, the concluding volume of laba's
Teaching and Research in Architecture series, explores the lessons
that can be learned from the compound history of the Manorial
System, whose forgotten feudalistic origins were once rooted in the
idea of the land, not as private property but as common ground.
