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.
Niall McLaughlin was the invited speaker at the Age UK Conference entitled ‘Later Life: Better Health and Care in Tough Times”. The subject of the talk was the role of the architect in designing for dementia, focusing on insights gain from the design of the Alzheimer’s Respite Centre in Dublin, as well as the practice’s consultation work for the London Borough of Camden in their design for new residential care homes. The lecture also touched on broader themes of how we develop spatial understanding and language from birth and how this abstract awareness is affected with the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease.
