On the 30th of September Niall will open the Bartlett International Lecture series. He will present some of his recent work and will speak about the relationship between education and practice. He will discuss the principle of lifelong learning as a way to create a reflective design discipline.
The practice has been awarded the BPCF 2012 Creativity in Concrete Award for their treatment of the facade for the Athletes’ Housing Block N15 within the Olympic Village. The precast cladding panels sample fragments of the Elgin Marbles, which were scanned digitally from the British Museum in London. The scans were used to make fibreboard positives using a 5-axis router, which then became the formwork for the latex moulds from which the panels were cast.
