The winner of The Urbantine Project in 2007, "Work/Space/Ply/Time (W/S/P/T)" by emerging architect Alex Haw, was selected from 40 entries which made their way in front of our judging panel. W/S/P/T impressed judges in its detail, imagination and feasibility in response to the brief.

W/S/P/T dissects the subject of working intimately by utilising every piece of redundant space within a compact and ergonomically designed structure. The structure itself can be erected without the use of rivets or glue – the basis of the design being a series of interlocking panels.

Alex Haw, currently a tutor at the AA, studied at The Bartlett and began his architectural career as architectural assistant within several leading practices including Nicolas Grimshaw & Partners and Diller + Scofiio. Haw now runs Atmos, a fledgling architectural practice.

Tent London is delighted that, together with the support of the British Council, Work/Space/Ply/Time: The Urbantine has also been exhibited at the Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-city Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture 2008 subsequent to its launch at the Truman Brewery.
