"During a time where economic inertia forces many in the architectural profession to do nothing, RARA is an energetic infrastructure that provides affordable space to do anything and everything. Welcome to the era of total creative freedom, the antithesis of the Nine-to-Five. A platform to individual design practice, with a collaborative atmosphere."
Thus proclaims the website for RARA, a small institution founded in mid-2009 in reaction to an enourmous economic catastrophe founded throughout much of the heady Noughties.
Through the Free Unit, RARA will continue its intention to design an institution that allows any individual the freedom to create on flexible terms, encouraging experimentation, enjoyment, and the provision of learning to make. RARA will explore emerging urban London contexts to find its new ideal home. RARA will investigate what it is to be an architect attempting to work outside the constraints of a professional Code of Conduct that relies on a framework which guarantees cyclical joblessness. Finally, RARA will utilise an industrial pontoon to court new followers, touring London's waterways, providing beer brewed at RARA, at the London Festival of Architecture 2010.
