Studio DuB, 17a, at flat 2 West Crosscauseway, Edinburgh EH8 9JW
This is another little gem of an exhibition under the aegis of the Festival of Architecture. I love the idea of pop up displays repurposing space, and testing the boundaries of what an exhibition might be. This is a fine example of the genre, an architectural practice has used an enclosed garage space, to put up a series of display boards, and if you press the buzzer they will let you in to see them. According to the website the shutters can also be raised to allow disabled access.
The projects are an imaginative mix, some fairly grounded, some fairly out there, but all well presented and thoughtful. I have incorporated a few photos of projects that particularly caught my eye.
It did take me a while to figure out exactly where the exhibition was, it is behind the shutters in the last photo, use the entry phone to the right of the shutters and the press button and ask to be let in. Once I found the place (eventually) I had no trouble gaining access, but inevitably with something as ad hoc as this, access might be a bit patchy.
Kudos to Studio DuB for putting on this exhibition, an inspiring demonstration of creativity and real generosity of spirit.
