Niall delivered the Giles Worsley Memorial Lecture at the British Academy, at Carlton House Terrace on the 11th of February. The lecture focussed on three projects, a country house in Hampshire, a chapel and the extension and restoration of Auckland Castle.
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.
