Andy Groarke’s Small Talk Lecture

In March, Andy Groarke from Carmody Groarke gave a lecture on his work at Newcastle, organised by the student run initiative, Small Talks. This was very fortuitous as I had been researching their intervention at Rennie Mackintosh’s Hill House for my design project. Hearing him speak gave a very interesting insight into the project that I would not have been able to gain through reading alone. Some of his responses to questions were quite surprising, and this helped me clarify my own position around making an intervention on an historic building. He was very keen to emphasise that their intervention was not permanent and that they were not trying to have a lasting impact upon the existing building, despite no known solution existing for the structural problems plaguing the building, and no date having been set for the structure’s removal. This made me question the appropriateness of my design and encouraged me to look critically at my own work, as I did intend to create a permanent structure. Groarke also elaborated on the integration of local pylon design into the structure of their intervention, this encouraged my to pursue a design for my scaffolding frame that directly referenced a scaffolding system.
