As part of a new Bartlett series called Science Fiction Meets Architecture, Niall will be taking part in a talk with Vernor Vinge, a five time Hugo Award science fiction writer, where they will discuss designing for an aging population.
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.
