On the 9th March at 7pm at the Barbican, London. The lecture entitled Taking Time will explore the role that buildings play in giving form to extended time. Níall will argue that architecture represents the durability of communal bonds. This insight is important in helping us to rethink our discipline in a world where embodied investment in our existing building stock has urgent priority.
Tickets can be purchased here.
From 30th June, some of Níall’s sketchbooks will be on display in Berlin as part of an exhibition at the Tchoban Foundation, Museum for Architectural Drawing. The exhibition presents a variety of sketchbook and sketch practices by architects whose built work has been largely formed through drawing by hand on paper. Curated by Dr Tina di Carlo and Dr Olivia Horsfall Turner, with Niall Hobhouse, it includes sketchbooks from Hans Poelzig, Le Corbusier, Alberto Ponis, Adolfo Natalini/Superstudio, Álvaro Siza, Tony Fretton, Marie-José Van Hee, Peter Märkli and Riet Eeckhout.
