Arquitectura Viva 252 - Carmody Groarke

The Permanence of the Ephemeral. The crisis of 2008 forced the young Kevin Carmody and Andy Groarke to explore less trodden paths: mostly temporary structures that enabled them to develop a subtlety which the London-based duo has maintained while consolidating its practice and expanding its register of scale, as Arquitectura Viva shows through three works and two recent projects: the Windermere Jetty Museum in the Lake District, the Hill House Box in Helensburgh, the Grossmarkt Theater Pavilion in Hamburg, the extension of the Design Museum of Ghent, and facilities for the British Library in Boston Spa.
