Elena Cologni was invited to present her work from her residency on modernist architecture and its uses by rural communities at Walter Gropius’ Impington Village College in Cambridgeshire.
This was part of the conference 'Thinking Through Design
Between Urban and Rural', focusing on on the blurred lines between the urban and rural, and the need to acknowledge and engage with both the rural characteristics and cultures to be found in cities, and the urban characteristics to be found in non-cities, and the ‘othered’ areas in between. This is of particular relevance to the history of the Bauhaus School, and its various experiences of urban displacement from one regional city to another.
