Returning Home

03-07-2020 By Tim Scrace

Reflecting on the exhibition that launched our adventure into creative practice, #HOME, has helped us reconnect with our practice values and ambition.  The exhibition investigated ideas that affect where we live and explored how these are represented and incorporated in design.

Many of the thoughts and theories developed in those early months of practice and in preparation for this show have inspired and shaped the first two years of SCRACE ARCHITECTS.  Recent architectural projects have even been characterised by some of the ideas developed as part of this show. The show was made up of a variety of components, including a series of paintings that were founded on the following subjects: #orientation, #context, #symbol, #material, #view.

A desire to help clients and passers-by understand and shape their own space is at the heart of what we do.  The dialogue that was created between artwork and spectator helped distil how the practice could communicate its vision and how it can shape space.  The exhibition was directed in a way that guided participants on their own journey through my #HOME, revealing the different ways in which we can interpret place.

#view > see FRAME A VIEW

Looking back, escaping the security of a traditional architectural office was scary, but at the same time liberating. Learning to express ideas through painting, sculpture and narrative was essential to breaking free from the norm of everyday project management and beginning a new adventure with our clients.
