As part of the Bartlett’s Spring International Lecture Series where experts, visionaries and skilled professionals from across the world come to share ideas and give invaluable insight, Niall will be giving the inaugral lecture on the 20th March. Niall’s talk titled ‘Six Pockets of Time’ will look at how architecture is, at heart, an embodiment of time. Niall will show different conceptions of time evident in six projects.
Niall McLaughlin Architects and Kim Wilkie have been shortlisted in a competition to re-imagine the grounds of the Natural History Museum in London. The practice was approached by the landscape designer Kim Wilkie to collaborate on a scheme for the invited competition. The brief is to create an innovative exterior setting that matches the architectural excellence of Waterhouse’s iconic 19th century building.
The five other architect and landscape architect teams shortlisted for the competition are Bjarke Ingels Group with Martha Schwartz Partners, Grant Associates with Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, Land Use Consultants with Design Engine and Stanton Williams Architects with Bradley-Hole Schoenaich Landscape Architects.
