On the 22nd April Niall will give a lecture at the new architectural school at the University of Reading. The event was part of the pan-European architectural research network and focused on the subject of design research.
Images of the brass stands fabricated by Millimeter in Brighton which will form part of the main installation in Venice. The intention is that 16 of these quadpods will support an individual projector in order to show the collaborative drawings.
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.
