EXTRA
EXTRA is the research arm of Tim Power Architects (TP/A).
It’s core purpose is to critically examine, enrichen and expand the discipline of design, its tools and concepts on an on-going basis.
Whereas Tim Power Architects operates within the traditional boundaries of Architectural practice, EXTRA looks to disciplines and ideas laying on the borders of Architectural and Design practise. Much of the research is done without a specific program or client, allowing Extra to investigate issues which are not driven by the programatic or economic requirements of a specific project.
EXTRA WALL is an area dedicated to news, interests, inspirations and activities.
EXTRA COURSE is research conducted by Tim Power within his Academic design studios.
EXTRA
Parallel to projects developed within the multi-disciplinary practice, with EXTRA, TP/A remains active enriching the design professional through participation in seminars, lectures, exhibitions and special events.
EXTRA is conceived as the mirror image of TP/A, operating as a think tank within and independently of the production realized within the firm.
EXTRA aims at expanding architectural production towards broader issues around culture and enables the practice to interrogate architectural production and research beyond individual commissions and the built artefacts.
