SPOTLIGHT: Ordinary Studio | "ORDINARY DISPATCH #1"

"Ordinary Ltd, an East London-based studio primarily focused on creative investigations
at the intersection of architecture, design, material sciences and theory." Ordinary was founded by Magnus Larsson and Alex Kaiser. Larsson has a BA (hons) from Oxford. He started off as a journalist and later attended the Architectural Association where he proposed "Dune," a 6,000km long habitable anti-desertification wall made of biologically solidified bacterial sandstone." Kaiser too has a BA (hons) from Oxford. He began his career in design and followed a similar route, attending the Architectural Association in London.

Ordinary Dispatch #1 is a "communiqué keeping our nearest and dearest updated on the latest news from Ordinary Ltd."

Here's a PREVIEW of what it FEATURES:

Crystal City for Selfridges, Festival of Imagination

"Curated by Chris Hatherill (super/collider), the Growing the Future exhibition and series of workshops envisage a future made from truly renewable materials. With Ordinary co-founder Alex Kaiser leading the design team, our contribution is Crystal City, a glittering metropolis made from supersaturated crystal solutions, created in a four-week collaboration with visitors to Selfridges."

LOG: F2F Phase Finished

"Our F2F (file-to-factory) groundscraper – a building at the scale of a city – responds and adjusts to a series of site conditions in order to establish optimal conditions for its gridshell structure to support multi-storey living units that are “slotted” into the main framework."
