Dunelm House was build for the Durham Students' Union in 1966 under the supervision of architect Sir Ove Arup. It is one of the last remaining Brutalist buildings in the North East of England. It was allowed to fall into disrepair by Durham University. Now, the University plans to demolish it but

architects protest to save it.

This visual lament in three acts tells stories about noticing, befriending and falling in love. It shows a seemingly colourless architectural structure becoming deeply intertwined with users and nature."
