ROOM 13

Exhibition: Tuesday 10 April - Sunday 27 May
Visit: Tuesday 1 May, 14.00, £5

Room 13 is an innovative initiative that encourages primary school children to run their own art
studios alongside resident artists. Completed earlier this year Room 13 at Hareclive Primary School, Hartcliffe, is the first purpose built Room 13 in the country.

Funded entirely through grants, the project was designed by Bath architects Mitchell Taylor Workshop. The budget was modest, and the architects were first approached to specify a temporary classroom for Room 13. However, the architects were convinced that something more exciting and inspiring could be procured for the money.

This exhibition features plans, photographs and models of Room 13, an extremely unprecious building, innovative in its sustainability, and reflecting its environment.

If you'd like to see the project in situ and hear more from Piers as part of a guided tour of Room 13, book for the visit on Tuesday 1 May.

PEOPLE, PLACES, PROCESS AND PROJECTS

Talk: Tuesday 1 May, 18.00, £5

In People, Places, Process and Projects, Piers Taylor from progressive young Bath architects Mitchell Taylor Workshop will focus on Room 13, as well as discussing formative study years with architects such as Glenn Murcutt; collaboration with Mole Architects, Gianni Botsford and Peter Clegg on Studio in the Woods; and projects including Moonshine and Hangar 45.

Moonshine was a reinvention of a Murcuttian Pavilion for a British landscape, which touches the ground lightly with a minimal ecological footprint on a site near Bath with no car access.

Hangar 45, which has just received planning from North Wiltshire District Council, is a groundbreaking scheme for 29 carbon-neutral live/work units and community facilities in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and open countryside on the edge of World Heritage site of Avebury.
