This year’s Royal Academy Summer Exhibition opens to the public on the 21st June which Níall has co-curated with artist Rana Begum two rooms of art and architecture. Our practice has been been extremely delighted to have had this opportunity and assisting with assembling and the intall of some of the pieces, from Boomserm Premthada’s elephant dung brick to a full size Khudu Bari flood shelter in Bangladesh by Marina Tabassum.
On the 12th September Niall will be part of a panel discussion alongside Peter Clegg, Piers Taylor and Jenny Jones. Chaired by Kate Goodwin ‘A Place Together’ will examine the future of the city centre and high rise architecture; airports and theme parks.
The discussion takes Elisabeth Frink’s reconstructed Woolland Studio – and her creative environment as the backdrop. A Place Apart (starts 10:30am) and A Place Together (starts 2pm), which recall Frink’s statement about her studio and solitary practice and a contrasting talk about how collective spaces need to be reimagined and how architecture is adapting to a post Covid-19 society.
