Niall McLaughlin and Kim Wilkie will be giving a talk together on the 5th of October at the Royal Academy to talk about their plans for the entrance grounds of the Natural History Museum, and share some of the conceptual and creative conversations they are having as a result. This is part of the Royal Academy’s Dialogue series.

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.
