All Work and no Ply for Haw

This is Alex Haw's 25m2 Work/Space/Ply/Time (W/S/P/T) exhibit, currently on show at the Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale in Hong Kong.

The 5m-tall W/S/P/T, made of layers of engineered ply, is a new version of the exhibit that took first prize at the inaugural Urbantine Project, organised by Tent London last summer to 'explore the changing nature of the 21st-century workplace'.

But, the original W/S/P/T – or the lack of it – is now at the centre of a spat between Haw, a tutor at the Architectural Association and a partner in fledgling practice Atmos, and Tent London founders Jimmy MacDonald and Ian Rudge after the exhibit was apparently destroyed by Tent London's contractors.

The exhibit is made of 200 hinged panels of film-faced plywood sheets
