Parallel Of Life And Architecture in Bath

Parallel (of Life and) Architecture will see three duos of architects, artists and designers offer new insight into the Smithsons.

Known for their progressive approach, the Smithsons were key figures in the Brutalism movement and had a great fondness for Bath and the surrounding area.

This exhibition brings together the work of Turner Prize winning collective Assemble & Simon Terrill, Warren & Mosley, and The Decorators & GOIG who will each take key developments in the Smithsons' oeuvre as creative departure points to highlight their impact and lasting relevance as radical thinkers.

The exhibition’s title is taken from the seminal exhibition Parallel of Life and Art, staged in 1953 at the ICA, London by the Smithsons, artist photographer Nigel Henderson and sculptor Eduardo Paolozzi. Echoing the methods and collaborative processes of the Smithsons during their breakthrough phase as architects in 1950s Britain, this exhibition will uniquely reveal their research and creative practices.

Though concerned with how we lived then, the Smithsons’ ideas continue to influence how we live now and undoubtedly will in the future.
