DAYLIGHT TALKS
FEBRUARY 2022
On the 22nd February Níall will be giving a talk titled Circling a Star for the Daylight Talks by Velux.
The `Daylight Talks´ are targeting students or architecture and younger professionals and they are exploring the significance of natural light in architecture. The talks present exciting and prominent architects and educators working consciously and qualitatively with daylight in their projects and educational programs; what has inspired? how has spaces been planned with light to inhabit and cherish? the important learnings? and what is the advice to students and younger professionals?
ARCHITECTURE FOUNDATION DRAWING TOGETHER
MAY 2020
On May 14th as part of the Architecture Foundation 100 day Studio NMLA hosted a collective drawing event. At a time where people are physically separate, we were delighted to bring a large group together to draw. The event allowed a new level of participation in our studio’s collective drawing practice.
Participants were split into a series of ‘breakout rooms’, each led by someone from NMLA. A journey was narrated that encouraged people to draw themselves in the windows of their homes, then come to the street to clap and interact with one another, and finally to collectively design a public space. This narrative created a series of detailed, imagined scenes that have been combined into one colourful tapestry.
The event finished in unison with Thursday’s Clap for Our Carers, with the drawing revealed alongside a soundtrack by composer Kevin Pollard.
