Níall McLaughlin Architects will be speaking at the Architecture Big Event in Leicester on 1st October alongside Sir Peter Cook and Piers Taylor. The programme for the event at De Montfort University will include a range of activities exclusively for the school of architecture and will include a design charrette.
In a conversation on BBC Radio 4‘s Front Row, journalist and broadcaster Tom Dyckhoff has described this year’s Stirling Prize shortlist as representing “a completely new outlook on architecture…the voice of a new generation.” Together with architect and chair of the judges Philip Gumunchidan, the two critics reflected on what the shortlist says about the state of British architecture and the growing appetite for commissioning innovative contemporary buildings. During the broadcast, Front Row’s John Wilson described the chapel as an “absolutely stunningly beautiful” geometric structure.
