Turner Centre, Margate: competition entry

The innovative use of materials, an inventive approach to gallery lighting and clarity of organisation distinguish this short_listed competition entry for a visual arts facility on a dramatic coastal site.

The design philosophy upon which our work is based may be summarized in our attitude towards the origins of a building, light as a primary agent of change, a respect for the nature of construction, the changing states of a building and the memory of other buildings and places.
