ARCH-IVE INTERVIEW

JUNE 2020

On Tuesday 23rd June at 19.00, Arch-ive will be speaking to Níall McLaughlin about the literature that has influenced his practice, as part of the Architecture Foundation’s ‘100 Day Studio’.

Arch-ive is an online platform that investigates the books that have been influential to leading practitioners. It aims to showcase architects’ relationship to books and the way they utilise, interrogate, and display architectural resources.

The ‘live’ interview will take a slightly different format, focusing on specific buildings completed by Níall McLaughlin and the literature that surrounded their investigation. The discussion will focus initially on the Alzheimer’s Respite Centre in Dublin and Níall McLaughlin Architect’s work at the 2016 Venice Biennale, ‘Losing Myself’. Secondly, the conversation will focus on three projects from Níall’s early career, ‘The Shack’, ‘Phototropic’, and ‘Wandsworth House’. Finally, we will discuss ‘Bishop Edward King Chapel’ in Oxford.

Peter Salter Reviews Bishop Edward King Chapel

The April edition of the Architectural Review features an article on the Bishop Edward King Chapel, written by Peter Salter. The article contains images by Dennis Gilbert, with a detailed view of the branched timber structure on the magazine’s cover. The review describes the Chapel as a “subtle synthesis of nature and the sacred” with Salter concluding that the project is a reflective and sensitive response to the “spiritual challenge of this commission.”
