Structure and Space traces the 35-year history of London-based
practice Giles & Pike Architects, whose diverse body of work
has consistently evolved around the 'form follows function' logic
of Louis Sullivan. This publication showcases a curated selection
of the practice's most celebrated projects including the Amerland
Road House, the Weybridge House and Thurleigh Road House, and
contains essays about the practice penned by acclaimed
architectural historians and critics such as Dominic Bradbury and
Paul Finch. Furthermore, Structure and Space shines a light on the
unique story of Matt Giles and Tom Pike's partnership, allowing the
modernist principles informing their work to be discovered through
generous full-spread photographs and plans as well as exclusive
in-studio interviews. Beginning in the mid-1980s and stemming from
Tom Pike's initial involvement in designing architectural interiors
for clients such as advertising agencies, film companies and
fashion houses, the practice began making waves with its
residential work in the 1990s and launched headlong into this
sector following Matt Giles joining the practice in 2000. Since the
millenium, Giles & Pike Architects has established an
unassailable reputation for its expertise in producing clean-cut
modernist schemes in the residential sector, building largely in
London and occasionally outside the capital. Despite a 22-year age
difference, both principals adopt a design aesthetic that stems
from a shared Bauhaus-based education and a deep-seated investment
in the modern movement and aesthetic. The work of Giles & Pike
Architects follows a fundamental belief that good ideas for
buildings are generated from a firm understanding of the brief and
the programme for the building, rather than simply 'designing for
design's sake'.
