Jencks Foundation at The Cosmic House
The newly established Jencks Foundation opened The Cosmic House to the public for the first time in September 2021. The foundation acts as a cultural laboratory to promote critical experimentation in historical and artistic research. Our programme is organised around an annual theme and developed through an exhibition, new commissions, residencies, salons and seminars. The Cosmic House is one of the key landmarks in the development of Post-Modern architecture designed by the architectural historian, critic and designer Charles Jencks and the artist, garden designer and scholar Maggie Keswick between 1978 and 1983. The house contains Charles’ archive from his work as a historian, critic, land artist and co-founder of Maggies Cancer Caring Centres. The foundation preserves and opens these resources to the public to encourage the study of the architecture and culture of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
