On the 11th November Niall will be speaking at the British School at Rome’s event ‘Clay, Terracotta and Brick in Art, Architecture, Archaeology’ at The Royal Society of Sculptors. He will be focusing on the use of bricks in 2 of our projects, The International Rugby Museum and Magdalene College Library.
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.
