An article on dementia has been written by Sarah Wilson for the City Metric Online. The piece looks at how innovative home design could revolutionise dementia care and even slow down symptoms. It draws on our projects Losing Myself created for the Venice Biennale 2016 and the Alzheimer’s Respite Centre in Dublin on approaching dementia friendly design.
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.
