Sites and Modifiers

An exhibition of drawings, models and photographs from architectural firm Edition Office.

Edition Office is an architecture studio based in Melbourne, Australia. Through the execution of its built work and research, the practice is creating an ongoing series of figures, relics, stories and relationships; all continuing a greater investigation into material & spatial practice. 

Edition Office strive to constantly experiment with techniques and materials to uncover new processes that require less & less artifice. Their work is entirely sympathetic, to themselves, to their clients, to their sites and landscapes. They celebrate grit and raw materiality. They celebrate knowledge and care. 

Edition Office engage with their work as a long form negotiation between a series of modifiers (people/place) and conditioning objects (buildings/relics). They design houses and buildings that exist within the layered realms of their environment, their place. These built projects act as an interface between a place and its occupier and set up an ongoing relationship of colliding adjacencies, where the latent histories of each party are bled into the next. Documentation and cataloguing of these modifiers and conditioning objects allow further interrogation of their influences on each other and upon editions both future and past. The works in this exhibition are various representations, photographs, drawings and models of a series of recent Edition Office projects, which act as modifiers and conditioning entities to themselves across the site of the gallery space.
