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.
Preparations for Biennale Architettura 2016 have begun in earnest: concepts advanced; collaborators recruited; designs developed. Niall and Yeoryia (Manolopoulou, of AY Architects) have met with a number of experts on the subject of dementia and design, including scientists at UCL; the Centre Manager at the Alzheimer’s Centre in Dublin; the Vice-Chair of the European Working Group of People with Dementia and experts from the Dementia Services Development Centre at the University of Stirling. We are excited by the emerging details of the various elements of this year’s exhibition, and look forward to unveiling our contribution in May.
