Design blog Dezeen has featured an article on the Bishop Edward King Chapel. It highlights the project as one of those to recently win an RIBA Award and includes a link to the practice’s House at Goleen project, previously reviewed on the on-line design magazine in October 2012. The article for the Chapel includes a full project description, together with a large selection of images and drawings.
A short film has been made about the practice and the design of the Tapestry Building, a large-scale mixed-use development on the edge of the Regent’s Canal in King’s Cross. The scheme forms one element in the wider regeneration of the 67-acre site adjacent to King’s Cross station and the Regent’s Canal.
In the film Niall McLaughlin describes the design influences behind the woven tapestry-like facade and places the building within a tradition of masonry buildings looking to imitate “the intensity and the enmeshed, thicket-like quality of tapestries” that goes back to the origins of architecture, where hanging tapestries were used to enclose space.
