Ric Frankland - Ugly House


Do we know what a house should look like?

This event seeks the good, bad and just plain ugly architecture. This group seek to break the stereotypes of what “good” architecture is by looking at examples in Alain de Botton documentary “The Perfect Home” and Len Grant’s film “I’m moving in...!”. They have also looked at Fat architects and made small presentations showing their opinions on the good, bad and ugly.

Their final output, inspired by the book “Typen: Good, Bad and Ugly Houses” by Oda PƤlmke, will be to build a house form in concrete at 1:50 scale, and their work will be judged to be either “good”, “bad” or “ugly” at a public event in Manchester.
