Command Control Communicate

Walmer Yard forms a discreet and private set of four interlocking houses set around an open courtyard. This building, designed by Peter Salter together with Fenella Collingridge, and developed by Crispin Kelly, is the reflection of a long education and the product of a decade of learning, thought and inspiration. From the play of light, shadow and colour, to the intense celebration of materials and constantly fresh sequences of spaces, these houses celebrate what architecture can deliver at the domestic scale. The houses now form the home of the Baylight Foundation, a charitable organisation with the aim of increasing the public understanding of what architecture can do, rooted in the experience of Walmer Yard.

<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">A curated experience by Visual Communication students from the Royal College of Art</H2>
We are constantly bombarded with signs, messages and orders; we are told not to cross the yellow line when a train is coming, not to step on the grass or touch an artwork, we are taught to follow rules. We abide by social values to create societal norms, utilise shame and punishment as a tool to discipline people who step out of line. We have been designed to conform. Everything around us, and within us, exists in a predetermined order. Nothing is new. 
For their final show, students from the Royal College of Arts’ Design Without elective are conducting an experiment into the preoccupation of control in our lives and its unnoticed manifestations. Using one of the houses of Walmer Yard as the setting, the students aim to highlight and unsettle subconscious behavioral cycles through a journey of subversions and controlled simulations.

<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">About Design Without</H2>
Design Without is an elective offered to first year students in the Visual Communication Programme in the School of Communication at the Royal College of Art. The aim of Design Without is to question preconditions and precepts in order to gain confidence and greater resilience to question, reflect, provoke, fail, and identify contexts for making work.
