This book records a collaborative project between 70 first year, BA (Hons) Interior and Spatial Design students at Chelsea College of Arts and their tutors. Collectively we designed and built - ‘Details and Spaces’ - a temporary installation spatially linking Tate Britain and Chelsea College of Arts. Students studied and surveyed the architectural details of both Tate Britain and Chelsea College of Arts, focusing on the historic ornamental language, in search of discovering imagined spaces hidden within. They documented these details in drawings and models. A number of details were chosen and enlarged, using wire, wood and paper to form two
structures large enough to inhabit inside. The final structures were situated on Chelsea College of Arts parade ground, on a sight line, visually linking the two buildings.
