Wedgemouth

Y4 Group project, BSc at University of Bath, UK

Wedgemouth is a proposal for a museum of social anthropology located in the coastal town of Weymouth, designed in response to a brief that asked for a demountable exhibition pavilion showcasing the act of making. My team and I identified making as a continuous process of growth, decay and regeneration, which informed the building's bold form, and we chose to interpret the theme of making in terms of different aspects of anthropology. My role focused on construction, including the structural strategy and devising a demountable cladding system of biological concrete panels.
