THE FRAME HOUSE

The Frame House by Omar Ghazal is a re-imagination of the Scouts’ contribution to the Festival of Britain (1951). The proposal is for a park that explores the possibilities of the unrealised proposals by the Scouts Association and acts as a memorial to the central ideals of the scout movement. The drawings outline contemporary structures that allegorically engage with this historical event at the same time as presenting a vision of how architecture for children can realise the central principles of scouting.

The Frame House, by Omar Ghazal : socks-studio

“The Frame House is a reimagining of the Scouts’ contribution to the Festival of Britain. In celebrating of the 60th anniversary of the Festival of Britain, The Frame House proposes the reconstruction of a temporary park to demonstrate the ideals and benefits of Scouting to the nation. The Frame House thus sets out to provide a contemporary demonstration of the central principles of scouting in structures that allegorically engage with this historical event at the same time as presenting a vision of how architecture for children can realise the Scouts’ ideals.”
