On the 30th of September Niall will open the Bartlett International Lecture series. He will present some of his recent work and will speak about the relationship between education and practice. He will discuss the principle of lifelong learning as a way to create a reflective design discipline.
We have completed our housing project for the Peabody Trust in John Fisher Street in Whitechapel, London. 13 families now occupy the building. It was built on an empty site in Henry Derbyshire’s Peabody Estate from 1870. The building is made from brick with deep precast concrete reveals, framing large windows and balconies. It is a real pleasure to see the balconies occupied by plants, bikes and carpets; people hanging out the windows watching their children playing in the courtyard below.
