'aberrant architecture investigated a radical and experimental school-building programme conceived by leonel brizola,darcy ribeiro and oscar niemeyer in brazil in the 1980s.'

"We particularly liked the story of a guy called James Catnatch who used to sell newspapers called Catchpennies that used to advertise news and stories from the area,"

'There are also those in their mid-twenties: Assemble, Studio Weave (who I sometimes work with) and Aberrant, all of whom are taking architecture in different directions.'

"Learning lessons from school-building in Brazil helps us develop the new ideas that are sorely needed to improve the design and production of school buildings in the UK,"

'A mobile theatre will visit Clerkenwell Design Week in London this May, inspired by a miniature concert hall above a coal-shed that used to be in the area in the seventeenth century.'

'aberrant architecture (aka David Chambers and Kevin Haley) are creating a tiny theatre topped with coal scuttles as a tribute to one of London’s most colourful characters, coal man-cum-ramshackle entertainment impresario Thomas Britton.'

'The winning flexible working space can be used for educational activities, community programmes, gallery functions and artist residencies. A 'saw tooth' roof, echoing the factories once typical of the surrounding area, will provide north light to the creative production that will occur within the new building.'

'And you thought your neighbors were strange. Some topics require a more delicate conversation than others, like if your cousin is in love with a body pillow bearing an image of his favorite female otaku character.'

'Aberrant Architecture pose the question: ‘What happens when a community nurtures the darker sides of life, society and design?’ at the 2011 Gwangju Design Biennale.'

'Some issues included identity theft, treatment of migrant workers, and South Korea’s relationship with North Korea. These themes were communicated through playful modes, including card games, films, textbooks and origami t-shirts.'

'Aberrant architecture’s ‘Peeping Tom’ project was in the form of a traditional Korean Housing block, and visitors can see films exposing the intriguing ‘dark’ communities that lie under the surface of Korean society'

'Aberrant Architecture co-founder and director Kevin Haley says that on the understanding that it’s ‘every man for himself’ in the west, the promo proposes families compete against each other in a game show, before the winners ‘get to ransack the other person’s house’ giving any gold to the state, ‘but maybe keeping a TV.’

'Visitors to a recent Liverpool exhibition rolled eggs down seven timber follies designed by London studio Aberrant Architecture.'

'A pop-up installation designed to celebrate digital creativity sought to answer one crucial question: if mobile and online banner adverts can be considered art.'

'Four-hundred used polystyrene boxes were used to create an immersive envrionment into which screens of various sizes were embedded.'

'The result is a giant egg-rolling track and record crowds. “What we wanted to do was create as many different entry points for the gallery goers,”he adds.'

'An interactive game uses eggs to roll around seven of their creations installed in a gallery.'

'Much of the discussion surrounding ‘The Future for Architects?’ has looked to the younger generation, the real future of the profession. Increasingly, younger professionals are modifying traditional architectural practice to fit their own vision of the future.'

'Due concept, uno bar/workspace/dinner, l’altro galleria e performance space multidisciplinare. Un indirizzo in comune, Old Street, nel cuore di East London, per El Paso, ispirato ai pub del 19° secolo del quartiere londinese Lambeth e per The Gopher Hole.'

'Rip It Up and Start Again is a lecture series curated by Robert Mull and Kieran Long to place the work of the school in relation to broader debates about the city.'

'The concept for the El Paso bar/workspace/diner takes its inspiration from 19th century pubs like the ‘Elephant & Castle’ in Lambeth.'

'“The Gopher Hole has the feel of Superdeluxe, the club that architects Mark Dytham and Astrid Klien (KDA) founded in Toyko in their own studio. Smaller than Storefront in NYC and hidden way, the Gopher Hole has an almost domestic ambience for a cultural community space that makes sense.”'

'While Mexican food is probably more associated with Britney Spears’ infamously dark Taco Bell days than art, El Paso in east London is set to change that. The space was given a total overhaul by Aberrant Architecture in November, and has since become a space where designers and artists can work, natter, eat and drink.'

‘It’s also introducing The Gopher Lounge as a place of drinking and thinking for creative people - we’re going to put on events to keep the momentum going, so you can come in and hear what young designers are doing.’

'a new generation of architects is emerging who are interested in more than spending a banker's latest bonus on a vanity project. These young practices are fascinated by what makes London the city it is, rather than in utopian projects to improve it into oblivion.'

'aberrant together with Beatrice Galilee organised a debate on the future of architecture criticism with Domus in London @ The Gopher Hole.'

'aberrants design for a swapshop space has been shortlisted for the arhcitecture foundation's 'South Kilburn Community Centre' competition.'

'During this cold December, the battle against time materializes constantly on our BlackBerries and iPhones at that crossroads of life that is London. But it's enough to cross the threshold of the El Paso diner in Hoxton to find oneself in the mole's lair (The Gopher Hole). Downstairs is a basement where aberrant architecture and Beatrice Galilee have just opened a gallery'

'Beatrice Galilee, former architecture editor at Icon, and Aberrant architecture have transformed an east London “dive” into a new gallery and project space.'

'This variety of voices seems central to The Gopher Hole's cultural mission, and the result bodes well for this colourful new project space.'

About a Minute is the inaugural exhibition at The Gopher Hole, a new project space in Hoxton founded by aberrant architecture and Beatrice Galilee. For their first show, The Gopher Hole invited carefully chosen conceptual artists, architects, designers, poets and writers to respond to a premise – the idea that today, a minute is all we seem to have.

The Gopher Hole is a new project space in Hoxton co-founded by aberrant architecture & Beatrice Galilee.
