A proposed intervention within Summerhall Arts Centre, Edinburgh. It reclaims Block C — a long-disused wing of the old Royal Dick Veterinary School and reimagines it as a public printmaking studio. The site has a layered history: industry, community, art. The proposal seeks to form printing into built form; the slip of a register, the buildup of ink, the way each layer interacts with the next. These quiet shifts build structure. They push and pull. They leave new impressions on what was already there.
It is a building that hopes to be noticed, then linger with.
Because perhaps architecture, like a print, is less about permanence than impression. And perhaps the best kind of impression is one that makes you want to stay awhile.
