Procter-Rihl is a multidisciplinary studio that navigates between the scales of architecture, furniture, product design, exhibition and landscape. In a world dominated by over-specialisation, there are few architects that inhabit these multiple areas consistently through their career. The studio proposes a new approach in architecture, Trans-Local, which brings together the familiar and the extraordinary, the local and the global. Unlike typical contextual approaches to place, this method creates tension between the familiar and the new.
'Architecture and Beyond' surveys the work of Procter-Rihl, revealing a design method based on linguistics fusing spatial verbs to local archetypes.The projects shown do not follow a chornological order but are clustered by four key design operations: fold, perforate, float and weave. They are firestarters to spatial investigations that are regularly revisted in different scales, programmes or disciplines,. The method embraces a diagrammatic purity that is ineveitably reflected in the projects.
