Walmer Yard, in London, is the first residential building in
Britain designed by architect Peter Salter. The culmination of ten
years of planning, the project makes physical the ideas and forms
that Salter has developed over the last three decades. Although
modest in scale, the project is extraordinary in many ways. On an
irregularly shaped site, Salter's design brings four houses into a
complex relationship with each other, half-formal, half-familiar,
interdependent yet solitary. Similarly, the relations among the
core team who developed the design are more nuanced than in most
architectural projects, since they all met at the Architectural
Association in Peter Salter's unit, where Crispin Kelly (the
client) and Fenella Collingridge (Peter's current collaborator)
were student contemporaries. This book documents the project with
Peter Salter's original pen-and-ink drawings and Helene Binet's
extraordinary photographs.
Situated at the interaction of art, architecture, music,
mathematics, cosmology and science, Matthew Ritchie's "The Morning
Line" is a 33-foot high sound pavilion, constructed in aluminum and
conceived in part as a successor to Edgard Varese and Le
Corbusier's pavilion for the 1958 World's Fair, and Fritz
Bornemann's Expo '70 Pavilion. Designed in collaboration with New
York-based architects Aranda Lasch, the Arup Advanced Geometry Unit
and the Music Research Centre of York University, the structure was
inspired by the cosmological theories of Paul Steinhardt and Neil
Turok, and offered a sonic environment in which newly commissioned
works by well-known musicians were performed. This survey of the
project includes a book containing Todd Eberle's photographs of the
structure, a poster, a newspaper and a red vinyl LP with music by
contemporary electronica musicians such as Alexej Borisov, Tommi
Gronlund, Petteri Nisunen, Christian Fennesz, Carsten Nicolai,
Zsolt Olejnik, Finnbogi Petursson, Franz Pomassl, Terre Thaemlitz
and Zavoloka.
