Synopsis

Marking 12 years of practice, Studio Egret West’s first book Framing Serendipity is an idiosyncratic response to the challenge of mixed-use, higher-density neighbourhoods in an undeniably turbulent period of political, social and economic change. The liberally illustrated book, designed and produced in-house, is divided into ten themes. These explain the Studio’s philosophy and approach to place making. Each chapter begins with a ‘conversation’ led by journalist and author Zoe Williams. David West said: “We aim to create a platform for a new kind of dialogue about architecture, urban design and landscape that reflects the importance of being open-minded and genuinely responsive to forging relationships with communities, clients and collaborators.” The title of the book reflects the Studio’s fundamental mindset, that ‘serendipity’ is a valid form of research and design development. Christophe Egret said: “Traditional architectural thinking is so often based on logic, repetition and rhythm. What we are showing is that design has the ability to nurture the organic and the unpredictable.” Studio Egret West was founded in 2005, and is committed to delivering high quality design through the symbiosis of memorable architecture, strategic urban design and ecology-driven landscape.
