On Wednesday 11th June associate Adelina Fasan will give a lecture at ECE Architecture Studio in Worthing as part of the 'A piECE of their mind' Lecture Series. Adelina will explore how to design buildings that respond to complex urban and historic contexts, balancing scale, memory and meaning by looking at some of our buildings including the Master's Field Development for Balliol College in Oxford and Maggie's Centre Cambridge.
Niall McLaughlin has been invited to participate in a conference on Milson Island on the Hawkesbury River in Australia. Organised by the Architecture Foundation Australia, the residential event gathers an international field of speakers to explore a chosen theme. It will take place between the 28th and 30th of March 2014. This year’s theme will be ‘trace de la main’, taken from the comment by engineer Peter Rice that “whereas a Gothic cathedral will express the real and physical presence of the stone from which it was made, and of the masons who laboured over its construction so many years ago, very few modern buildings carry the same physical presence of the materials of which they were built. In short, ‘the trace de la main’, the evidence of those who built it, is not there.”
