Pierre Kellenberger is a freelance photographer specialising in architecture and design. The series, Facing Architecture, is based around his home city, Zurich. ‘I like to deal with the unusual in my work, and the transformation/abstraction to something new. Our everyday environment is often overlooked or ignored. It’s a pleasure for me to observe these things.’

Michael Kirkham’s project, Urban Goals, is a memento of lost youth and a stark reminder of the social inequalities still faced in Britain today. Now nationwide, the project started in and around his home town of Liverpool, recording the goals painted on houses, factories and brick walls when children still played football in the street.

Amanda Loomes uses documentary video to consider the frailty and resilience of human endeavour, imbuing materials and places with the stories of the people they were made by. Her film Persistent Place (16 mins 30 secs) weaves together generations of work by people at North Park Quarry in Surrey (UK), from the Mesolithic hunters who struck flints there to today’s machine operators who now quarry the sand.

James Milne’s work is principally focused around drawing and the photographic document. It is presently centred on studying post industrial sites in South Wales near his home in Newport. Many of these places have witnessed significant changes since the early 1980s. ‘I see my artistic practice in South Wales as responding to architectural sites which have become culturally invisible.’

Charlotte C Mortensson has been documenting the housing in Trench Town, Jamaica since 2006. Trench Town was constructed in the 1940s by the then colonial government’s Central Housing Authority. Since then the population has expanded and people have adapted and extended their homes into the streets and communal courtyards using recycled materials. The area’s volatile history is reflected in the powerful, ever-evolving architecture.
