‘Under Construction’ looks at more than a decade of ambitious live-build projects led by architect Takeshi Hayatsu, working together with an evolving cohort of collaborators, participants and community partners (including 121 Collective, Community Brain, Citizen Zoo and Dorich House Museum…) and developed and delivered collectively each year with the Unit 5 students from the Department of Architecture and Landscape at Kingston School of Art, Kingston University.

Since 2011, eleven innovative building projects have provided a series of imaginative and highly resourceful responses to the specific opportunities and challenges of chosen locations around the borough of Kingston and elsewhere, as well as to communities and their needs. ‘Under Construction’ will present visual and tactile materials on these diverse projects together with a specially commissioned film by w.in.c films that will consider their impact on the collaborators and participants involved over the years. The film will follow the life of past projects as they are housed at various sites in Kingston, Tolworth and beyond, and how certain materials have since been recycled to become part of new community build projects in collaboration with Citizen Zoo, Community Brain, and 121 Collective – formed by student alumni of Hayatsu.
