Doctor Watson Architects Incomplete Works Volume Three Victoria Watson

This volume of Incomplete Works is about DWA's design for a prototype building called The College of Colour (CoC). The design development was influenced by events of Mies' posthumous career that took place in the 1980s. They were, first, a pair of public inquiries in London and, second, the rebuilding of the Barcelona Pavilion. The CoC design and the influences that caused it, are set out in two parts. First, visually, as sequences of views that show the CoC design in its most evolved form, i.e., as DWA conceived it at the time they were compiling this publication. Second, in the form of an essay, which tries to capture and order the influential events as a historical narrative.
