摘要

Our practice is interested in using historic precedent, typology and analogy as bases to generate a new architecture; here through the history of wharves in general, and Kingsland Basin in particular. The findings of our research are manifested in the site layout and the choice of materials. Simple, robust forms, primarily of masonry, predominate at Hackney New School. Detailing is generally direct and unfussy. The weight of masonry is expressed through the depth of the openings and the singular use of one material, relieved with minimal detail around these openings.
