The MArch at Birmingham School of Architecture and Design is a professionally accredited MA programme in architecture that promotes innovative, outward facing design and research. During 2014-15, Studio Plastic led by Mike Dring and Rob Annable, explored ideas surrounding creative practice and agency, commons, resilience and mediation, carrying out parallel research in Digbeth, Birmingham and in Rotterdam, NL.

This informed a range of proposals for the Birmingham Production Space, a national centre for the production of art and design where thinking through making is made public, where audiences engage at the point of production and creative exploration rather than the final point of presentation.

The emergent projects explored the interplay between digital and material processes in design and construction, speculating on the future of creative practice and space in the city.
