Niall will give a talk to the Architectural Association of Ireland in Dublin. The lecture will look at all new projects including the Peabody Housing at Whitechapel, The Theatre at Worcester College in Oxford and the Tapestry Building at King’s Cross in London.
Niall McLaughlin was the invited speaker at the Age UK Conference entitled ‘Later Life: Better Health and Care in Tough Times”. The subject of the talk was the role of the architect in designing for dementia, focusing on insights gain from the design of the Alzheimer’s Respite Centre in Dublin, as well as the practice’s consultation work for the London Borough of Camden in their design for new residential care homes. The lecture also touched on broader themes of how we develop spatial understanding and language from birth and how this abstract awareness is affected with the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease.
