LONDON FESTIVAL OF ARCHITECTURE

LONDON FESTIVAL OF ARCHITECTURE
Student Festival: Goldsmiths College14 July - 20 July
Hungerford BridgeLondon, SE1 8XX

Collaborative practice Group A, from the Goldsmiths College MA inContemporary Art Theory, have produced a fanzine entitled Exchange &Arch for the London Festival of Architecture. "Smuggled" into the gentrified context of the South Bank, Exchange &Arch intends to provide an informal and wilfully amateur platform, fora range of different perspectives about the South Bank area to bearticulated. Enthusiastically asserting themselves as "fans" of the builtenvironment of the South Bank, Group A have facilitated thecontributions of a disparate range of users of the site, withoutmaking any claims to representing them. The purpose is to present amultitude of voices outside of the established mechanisms for thecreation and maintenance of architectural discourse. It is hoped thatthe production of this knowledge about the South Bank, will encourageits users to view the area from a fresh perspective.

Copies of Exchange & Arch are available in the afternoon between the14 - 20th July.
However, be prepared to offer an object or storyrelating to the South Bank in exchange, as part of the on going generation of dialogue about the area.
