COOP COAST is a design & research unit within the graduate diploma school of CSA*. Over the course of the academic year 2010/11 the studio is investigating the political, socioeconomic and spatial realities of coastal towns, both in Kent and across the English Channel. Oscillating between macro and micro scales, between urban and rural, temporal and typological conditions, the studio embraces strategic and activist design practices alike; and will explore the potential for cooperative action within the realms of regional design, programmatic urbanism and performative architecture.

Studio: Pauline Harris, Alasdair McNab, Joao Neves, Sarjay Patel, Benjamin Reay, Sara Resende, Migle Saltynite, Richard Saunders, Rhea Shepherd, Lawrence Sherwood, Hannah Wyatt & Gabor Stark

After looking at caravan sites I was intrigued
by the temporality of the sites. Each site has
its differences in terms of size and layout.
The differences in the number of permanent
caravans and temporary caravans also makes
each site unique.

After visiting a site I was also intrigued by the
the way that most caravan owners were keen
to make their caravans different to others by
changing some of the things on it.
This has lead me to want to explore the idea
of plug-in Architecture.
