This is an engaging exploration of the Northumbrian-based work from architectural collective Sixteen* (makers). This meticulously illustrated volume documents a new project by the internationally renowned multidisciplinary architectural collective sixteen*(makers). Composed of leaders from some of the most innovative schools in Europe, the group focuses on interactive 'intelligent' systems employing digital fabrication, robotics, and distributed networks of sensors and microprocessors. For more than two decades their skills have evolved by adopting techniques from the hand-made to the digitally-crafted and their output includes buildings, installations and furniture. The project 55/02 is a work that promotes visitor engagement with the surrounding landscape. The project's name comes from its coordinates, (55[degrees] 11.30 N, 02[degrees] 29.23 W, '55/02'), in Northumbria, England, where it forms part of the Kielder Water & Forest Park art and architecture collection.
