WONGAVERY GALLERY FEATURED IN ARCHITECTURE TODAY
APRIL 2023
The WongAvery Gallery for Trinity Hall in Cambridge has been featured in this months edition of Architecture Today. The building was visited by Architect John Pardey for the AT who comments that " Níall McLaughlin Architects’ exquisite music practice and performance space for Trinity Hall, Cambridge, may be diminutive in scale, but it joins a small pantheon of modernist projects that can be considered total works of art".

RIBA EDUCATION REVIEW PRESENTATION
MARCH 2015
Niall gave a presentation to the RIBA Education Review at a specially convened Forum and Council, which debated significant changes to the structure of architectural education. Niall spoke about the relationship between education and practice, arguing for a lifelong cycle of practice and education.
“Education should not end with RIBA Part III, or even limp along through minimum prescribed CPD events. It should no longer be possible for an architect to finish their education. I propose a more comprehensive model of life-long learning. If practitioners come back to the schools throughout their lives, they will be constantly invigorated and, by extension, they will constantly invigorate the schools to which they return. This would constitute a discourse – in the sense of a ferrying back and forth – in which practice and education are both part of a seamless continuity. The purpose of education is not so much the acquisition of set skills but – to borrow a phrase from John Hattie – learning how to learn. Once you have done this, you have built an engine for a lifetime of renewal.”
