Mary Anderson

Mary is a partner at Assemble, working across the fields of art, architecture and set design. Her work centres on how these practices can inform one another through craft, story-telling and low-carbon construction. In the last two years, Mary has been part of the interdisciplinary team creating Dreamachine, a touring immersive art installation that she continues to develop for a worldwide audience. Other projects at Assemble have focused on the creation of affordable workspace for making within our cities and the role of childhood in the production of architecture. Prior to Assemble, Mary worked at the architecture and scenography studio Gonzalez-Haase AAS in Berlin and Practice Architecture in London on a pioneering self-build house and studio, developing low-tech, bio-construction methods using hempcrete, timber and clay.
