ARK Schools was founded in 2004 to work with the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) and local authorities to create new schools offering exceptional opportunities to local children in inner cities through their academies programme, with the aim of helping to close the achievement gap between children from disadvantaged and more affluent backgrounds.

daniel BARTHMANN: Since a few years my photographic work consists of the attempt devising an appropriation of defined places and spaces. This could be inside a building or outside. One series deals with the inner context of an apartment, an other with the course along an urban road or landscape. So the inital point for me is the self-imposed constraint upon a defined space that i choose to explore and turn into. It’s about an exploration of architectural settings and arranged things (intended or not) as corresponding components in a constant changing spatial context.

zoeYEE CHAN: Melting Space is a design-manifesto for the iconicity of EXPERIENCE over the object.
The project brings a moving, fluid world of glass pools into the urban fabric of Manhattan: in contrast and opposition to the self-similar experience of static, orthogonal, and rationally sub-divided space in the gridded city.
Floating, raining, moving and steaming above an existing tower block in midtown New York, the glass pools bring waterfalls, clouds, movement and drama to the city, creating an escape from the static monoliths below.
