Created by Wrights & Sites, working with the visual artist Stuart Crewes (120 pages, full colour, ISBN-13: 9781911193104). Published by Triarchy Press, Axminister, 2018.
Bricklaying with daydreams, creative demolition, first aid for sick buildings, dissolving signs, beating boundaries, speaking truth to architecture and mapping hallucinatory post-truth urban landscapes... The Architect-Walker is Wrights & Sites' latest anti-manifesto for changing a world while exploring it. If our publications An Exeter Mis-Guide and A Mis-Guide To Anywhere took walking for a walk, then this time it is architecture that is on the move.
The Architect-Walker was officially launched as part of Art Week Exeter 2018, with an afternoon of walks and a book launch in the evening.
