On the 9th September, Niall will give the RIBA Lecture to the Oxford Presentation Trust at St Luke’s Chapel in Oxford. He will discuss his personal involvement with the city of Oxford and present his perspective on how to create contemporary architecture in that context.
On the 26th of May Niall joined architect Will Alsop, and poets Katharine Kilalea and Matthew Gregory at the RIBA for a discussion on whether poetry and architecture can together reveal something new about our contemporary experience of space. How do the two art forms inform each other, and what can poetry and architecture and their intersection tell us about modern habits and habitation? The event was curated by Catherine Hamilton from the arts association Store. Niall’s piece ‘My Portfolio in Poems’ looked at particular poems that directly influenced his projects.
