SMOUTALLEN, Limits and Landscapes 2004. Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL.
“Mark Smout and Laura Allen are Senior Lecturers at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. Our work takes two routes, architectural competitions, where the particular rigour of the competition brief, site and program provide the basis for new investigations and, conceptual design projects which test out the agenda and methodology of the design research practice. We focus on the dynamic relationship between the natural and the man made and how this can be revealed to enhance the experience of the architectural landscape”
