“We are pleased that the Inspectorate has granted planning permission on appeal for this important project. We have been working on it since we won a competition in 2021. The Ismaili Trust have an impressive commitment to high quality architecture and landscape design. We look forward to continuing our work with the Trust to create a special place at the heart of the community for many years to come.” – Níall McLaughlin.
From 30th June, some of Níall’s sketchbooks will be on display in Berlin as part of an exhibition at the Tchoban Foundation, Museum for Architectural Drawing. The exhibition presents a variety of sketchbook and sketch practices by architects whose built work has been largely formed through drawing by hand on paper. Curated by Dr Tina di Carlo and Dr Olivia Horsfall Turner, with Niall Hobhouse, it includes sketchbooks from Hans Poelzig, Le Corbusier, Alberto Ponis, Adolfo Natalini/Superstudio, Álvaro Siza, Tony Fretton, Marie-José Van Hee, Peter Märkli and Riet Eeckhout.
