The Skirret is interested in the following things:
Drawings found at the back of plan chests. Eccentric mappings. The arcane, the cutting edge, and where they overlap. Histories of obscure buildings. Vanished streets. Decipherable driftwood. The reading habits of dead architects. Temporary economies. Modernism in ruins. Alternative environments and ways of life. Humans and their territories. Audacious strategies. Humble resolutions. Photographs that collect in public houses. The fiction of cities. The landscapes in books. The language of human occupation. The politics of gardening. Palimpsest brick walls. Embodied stories. Side projects of iconoclasts. Spatial provocations. The decisive moment, the prolonged experiment, and the considered line.
“…the radicalness of established solutions.” - Tony Fretton
