From the 4-6th December Niall was in Amsterdam Judging at the AR Emerging Architect Awards during this years World Archietcture Festival. The World Architecture Festival is where the world architecture community meets to celebrate, learn, exchange and be inspired.
The practice has been awarded the BPCF 2012 Creativity in Concrete Award for their treatment of the facade for the Athletes’ Housing Block N15 within the Olympic Village. The precast cladding panels sample fragments of the Elgin Marbles, which were scanned digitally from the British Museum in London. The scans were used to make fibreboard positives using a 5-axis router, which then became the formwork for the latex moulds from which the panels were cast.
