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.
The Bishop Edward King Chapel was among the winners of the ‘The UK’s Best Modern Churches’ competition which celebrates the best churches built within the last 50 years, announced at a ceremony held at Lambeth Palace in London. The open competition was run by the National Churches Trust, in association with the Ecclesiastical Architects and Surveyors Association and the 20th Century Society.
Of the top ten selected winners, the Chapel for Ripon College was the most recent nomination, with eight of the ten built in the late 50s and early 60s. The scheme was described as “a treat to look at” and “architecturally elegant, with a lovely intimate reflective interior.”
