BLUEPRINT: Best student projects in Britain

Yemí ’s Part 2 student work was featured in the Blueprint Magazine.

Extract from article : Yemi Aladerun has designed a new community building whilst working explicitly with the city as a background. By creating handmade drawings of beauty and precision this information serves as an analysis of the value of what is being measured. Yemi made use of the surface in a range of ways to examine the varied qualities of local identity. Indeed, one of the most notable things about the work of this student was 'normal' it is easy to almost miss; a glossy brown ashtray stand. Designed to look as if it had been in the pub for years, it was actually made up of a ‘turned’ Victorian spindle comprising the found shapes of a variety of beer glasses, jugs and other drinking and storage vessels. This work is a sensitive approach to the past and the future of places that uses precise practical tools to locate public significance - David Howarth
