On the 11th September one of our associates, Claire Chawke, will give a lecture at The Hive in Shrewsbury. Claire will be talking about Niall McLaughlin Architects in practice and having a more indepth look at 3 of our projects, The International Rugby Experience in Limerick, Auckland Tower in County Durham and the Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre in Oxford. Information about the lecture can be found here.
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.
