Will is well known to us in Kingston as a studio tutor in third year, where he runs a unit with Kate Micklin also of 31/44.
The work of the unit is a good way to understand some of the interests of 31/44 as a practice. There is a careful approach to understanding and researching context, and using this to inform their projects. This contextual read is not one grounded in a literal formal or material transposition, but in a sensibility which allows contextual work stand in sympathy both with its own time, and the histories of the sites they work on.
As such their works are to an extent a distillation and a refinement of particular observations, a retelling of a story of how the city has been made.
