Cast of Characters

Narrator
Stranger
Flaneur
Smoker
Extrovert


The urban 'cast of characters' has been drawn up as a device to enhance our understanding of those who populate our city. Recognising the inherent subjectivity of architectural design, and therefore the pitfalls in a brief that encourages us to begin with people, we are seeking to extend our reach beyond the self, and beyond our collaborative selves, to examine the topology of a multiplicity of perspectives. Using the literary and filmic device of a cast, which claims to be neither complete nor mutually exclusive, we hope to find a way to achieve a deeper understanding of the meaning and relevance of house, common room and archive.
