Niall will be taking part in a talk alongside Kim Wilkie and Audrey Carden on the 17th September at the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour to discuss the changing face of architecture and design in a decade that’s been described as a new ‘golden age of the English country house’. The event will be chaired by Interiors Editor, Giles Kime.
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.”
