Professor Simon Guy discusses and outlines the role of Lancaster University in the Jetty Project: Art & sustainability and how this feeds into his research on the Sustainability Agenda. He discusses Transfer as a work that invites us to engage with a view of architecture as a flow of practices both of construction and consumption. This opens up a space for a different conversation about architecture in which design and development is a process of building networks and enrolling actors, agencies, technologies, materials, legislation, etc. to collectively produce a stable material artefact.
