Archaeologist, journalist and artist Christine Finn opened up her parents' house in Deal last year
and sparked fascination and nostalgia. For architecture08, Christine has taken exploration of the family
home and its meaning a stage further.
Tour of the North Wall Arts Centre
The North Wall is a new Arts Centre in Oxford. Built in the grounds of St Edward’s School, and shared in use by the school and town, it houses a flexible 300-seat theatre, a rehearsal space, dance studio and art gallery. The design unites an ancient stone boundary wall, a Grade II Listed Victorian former swimming pool and a new building to form a carefully-scaled streetscape to the public side and a new courtyard to the school. Vernacular forms, contemporary detailing, and traditional but unfamiliar materials emphasise the building’s role as a place for innovation and creativity within a sensitive historic environment.
