The Architecture Centre, Bristol: Altered Landscapes: Design Research Unit Wales (28 Sep to 6 Nov)

Design Research Unit Wales (DRUw) is a young, research-led practice combining award-winning design, teaching, and research, based in the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff.

The Architecture Centre, Bristol will be hosting Altered Landscapes: Design Research Unit Wales in their new exhibition space. DRUw has attracted a number of commissions in which research-based design is married to notions of sustainability, tectonics, material innovation, environmental and functional performance and of economy.

This exhibition presents recent projects from inception to completion, including Margam Discovery Centre, located in a registered historic landscape outside Port Talbot; and an Environmental Resource Classroom, located in a post-industrial landscape in Ebbw Vale.

The projects will be illustrated by sketches, photographs, drawings and models demonstrating how research and sustainability are embedded in the way the practice works.
