Darbishire Place, our housing project in Whitechapel for the Peabody Trust, will be open to the public on the 17th September as part of Open House London 2016. Niall McLaughlin Architects will be provide guided tours of the building, which was shortlisted for the 2015 Stirling Prize.
Niall McLaughlin has written an essay for the Architects Journal titled ‘A Lifetime of Renewal’. He explains his view that ‘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 return to education throughout their careers, they will be constantly invigorated and, by extension, so will the schools to which they return’.
