Contact is an exhibition created and curated by 35 international students studying architecture at the University of Bath. The project is an investigation into the everyday interaction between people and place. The aim of the exhibition is to make people look at the buildings that surround them in a new light and make fresh discoveries about the built environment that we all live in.
Contact is designed to provoke thought.
During a study trip to Glasgow, we visited The Lighthouse a new centre for Architecture and Design. One of its aims is to stimulate more interest in architecture and the built environment amongst the general public, and also to educate them on the issues involved in planning and designing a building. People can learn how they can make a useful and valuable contribution to a wider architectural debate. The Architecture Centre in Bristol does a similar job. On a much smaller scale, we would like to think we could encourage the same way of thinking.
