Under Construction by Takeshi Hayatsu & Collaborators, is an evolving collaborative architecture project, under construction at the Stanley Picker Gallery throughout 14 September – 20 December 2024. The exhibition surveys more than a decade of ambitious live-build projects guided by architect Takeshi Hayatsu, working with Kingston University Architecture & Landscape students and a growing cohort of participants and community partners (including The Community Brain, Citizen Zoo, 121 Collective and more). Since 2011, these projects have provided imaginative and highly resourceful responses to their chosen locations in collaboration with diverse communities around Kingston, Surbiton, Tolworth and beyond.

Throughout the exhibition an entirely new live build will take place at the Stanley Picker Gallery, developed with the 2024-25 cohort of Unit 5 MArch students from the Department of Architecture and Landscape at Kingston School of Art, Kingston University. This will include a temporary rammed earth Shrine outside the entrance and a Sauna on the Gallery’s riverside terrace.
