Prototyping Architecture explores the importance of prototypes in the delivery of high quality contemporary construction – performative architecture that is inventive, purposeful and beautiful. Focusing on architecture that is informed by aspiration, knowledge and material culture. The exhibition places a particular emphasis on research and experimentation showing how trial assemblies can inform architecture, with work by architects, engineers and artists. In post-digital design practice the prototype remains a vital means of design development. Setting out material futures and impending systems, with the potential for technology transfer from other industries. It highlights the role of low carbon architecture and offsite manufacturing in maximising the effective use of materials and resources, whilst delivering environments that facilitate human well-being.
