Both manual and manifesto, ‘Baroque Tendencies’ explores how and why Northcote House, designed and built by David Leggett and Paul Loh, came to be. Shockingly new and yet strangely familiar, the almost baroque form of the house is the product of an experiment, a confluence between architecture, academia, and fabrication. The two practitioners argue that their mode of design and construction, what they call “digital material practice”, is neither theory nor practice, but rather an engaged form of design research that achieves efficiencies in material use, spatial organisation, and positive environmental impacts. Here they share knowledge gleaned from their work.
