On the 21st September Niall will be speaking at the 2017 AIA Colorado Practice + Design Conference in Keystone, Colorado. The annual conference is to inspire and educate the architectural community, celebrate excellence in design, and explore highly relevant practice topics through a series of insightful presentations on a wide range of issues.
Niall McLaughlin nominated Herman Hertzberger as the recipient of the 2012 Royal Gold Medal. At the award ceremony in London this month Niall delivered the formal citation for Herman Hertzberger on behalf of the honours committee.
“For Hertzberger inhabitation is the key….architects should be specialists in the daily life of people. This is done not by asking people what they want but by undertaking a rational observation of what they are.”
