CAMBRIDGE ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH - WHY DO WE NEED LIBRARIES?

SEPTEMBER 2024

Cambridge Architectural Research - Why do we need Libraries?

Associate Tim Allen-Booth gave a talk on the New College Library at Magdalene College Cambridge as part of an event on the future of libraries organised by Cambridge Architectural Research as part of their Showroom series. CAR helped Magdalene to write the brief for the new library and it was fascinating to hear the story of its development. An enjoyable evening of discussion concluded with a dusk tour of the library kindly facilitated by the College.

 

WE BUILT THIS CITY

JUNE 2015

Niall took part in the event We Built this City, which was created to raise awareness and celebrate the contribution Irish people have made to the built and cultural fabric of London, from historic to contemporary times.  Niall’s contribution titled ‘London Made Me’ looked at the role of the city as a place of emancipation for the immigrants from around the world.
