As we break from the monotony of lockdown SCRACE ARCHITECTS are launching a competition to encourage you to FRAME A VIEW and look ahead to a new world beyond.
It is safe to say that we are all in need of a fresh outlook after this crisis. Staring out of our own little boxes has become a favourite past time and may help us connect the world outside. This is not a new concept but has become more relevant since we have all been stuck indoors. A view enables us all to think beyond the limits of our gardens and our flats to the wider world.
To help us begin to think again about what is over the horizon we would like you and your families to take a photo or draw your favourite view from your home, home office or shed.
Don’t be afraid to abstract and present your image in whichever way you like. When we are designing buildings, sculptures or spaces we try to imagine what you might see from a particular perspective. For example, the montage above is a combination of a painting and the view from a real project. In our practice we paint to see and shape space differently.
Over the next month we will offer tips on how to approach your designs via twitter and Instagram @timscrace and via a podcast. Our blog also has an article on about how to frame a view. Please share your pictures and follow us on social media using #frameaview #scracearchitects @scrace_arch.
Happy snapping and stay safe!
