Our house for DAD (Dover Art Development) is built on the principle of engagement - with arts and culture, with each other, with the community, and with the building itself.

At the heart of our house for DAD is a desire to create a sense of belonging and to help foster an interconnected community in Dover. Our house for DAD wears this desire on its sleeve, and will gradually become covered in community-made ceramic art as the years go by.

Inside and out, the building creates moments of interaction through its folding exterior, raised platforms and open studio workshops - each one a celebration of the process of 'creating while engaging'.

CREATING WHILE ENGAGING//
Central to our 'Canvas for Dover' concept is the exhibition space and workshop surrounding a kiln. It is the heart of our proposed concept and the community engagement on site. Local residents are invited to explore the art and culture of Dover and add to it through the medium of ceramic. Clay and tile workshops are held within the exhibi­tion space and then fired in the kiln before being added to the building itself.
