Sutton Scarsdale Hall
This Call for Ideas, organised by the Centre of Attention, is seeking proposals for the re-imagining of Sutton Scarsdale Hall into a pavilion of postcontemporary curating.
Our strategy is to permanently install beam crane lifts prefabricated building modules from a lorry into the roofless grid of walls that constitute Sutton Scarsdale Hall. The pods sit within the ruined masonry walls, carefully scaled to leave a respectful gap between the new insertions and the existing archeology. In this way, the evocative quality of the ruin is preserved and a strict differentiation between the new and the old is always made apparent.
This call was open to architects, designers, artists, curators and others. A shortlist of design proposals has now been published and available to view here
