Jonathan Woodward is the selected artists/architect at At TBG+S from 23 July – 3 August 2012. Woodward runs Pointfive with Ste Thorpe. Pointfive is a young design partnership looking to converse with perception and narrative through the alteration and play of materiality. As training architects we are interested in the significance of material, its symbolic gestures and appearance in light and shade. The inherent motivation behind our work is to design and curate objects or spaces that engage participants through experience.
