School of Rural Studies, Duddingston

The physical and sensorial implications of living in the North are explored in this unit through speculations within the village of Duddingston 55N,-3W.

The focus is on materials from the ground. Sculpting clay and joining timber. Addressing sustainable concerns in how we can build & live using locally sourced materials and how we do this in relation to the particular demands of living in a Northern climate. With the situation being on the edge of the urban and rural, the programme is a School of Rural Studies, studying the social, economic & political systems used to manage the coutryside.
