Description

This is an exhibition and book, titled Slacklands.

ARCA explores interpretations of the British landscape that focus on often marginal and overlooked places. The on-line archive creates a multi-layered reading of places and an appreciation of the bleak, the failed and the uncomfortable. The archive surveys, collates and celebrates Britain’s strange and often overlooked architectural spaces.

ARCA launched the publication Slacklands in May 2014, which provides a guide to 31 sites across the UK, with an informative text and photographs that capture each sites lack of traditional appeal as well as their striking aesthetic.
