From within the Design as Politics graduation studio, The Lottery of Architecture explores architectural and ideological failings of Cumbernauld New Town near Glasgow, called ‘The Kabul of the North’ on receipt of its award for Scotland's Most Dismal Town in 2010. Through the design of a massive wall of housing omitted from the original planning proposals, the project takes aim at the class expectations and economic logics which influence housing production in the UK, from construction to neighbourliness, from form to fixtures and fittings.
