ABSTRACT

The two projects described at the outset of this book

as an introduction to the work – a staircase, and a

new piece of city – stake out the span of a working

territory which is sustained through the œuvre

of the practice: on the one hand, incrementally

adjusting or intervening within existing buildings

in urban centres, while on the other hand, making

propositions at a strategic scale around the margins

of cities and towns.
