Niall is taking part in Studio in the Woods from the 7th-9th July. A 3-day workshop that explores the testing of ideas through making at 1:1 involving architects and students run by Invisible Studio. To view the project on Invisible Studio’s website please click here.
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.
