RIBA FORUM POETRY AND ARCHITECTURE

MAY 2015

RIBA Forum Poetry and Architecture

On the 26th of May Niall joined architect Will Alsop, and poets Katharine Kilalea and Matthew Gregory at the RIBA for a discussion on whether poetry and architecture can together reveal something new about our contemporary experience of space. How do the two art forms inform each other, and what can poetry and architecture and their intersection tell us about modern habits and habitation? The event was curated by Catherine Hamilton from the arts association Store.  Niall’s piece ‘My Portfolio in Poems’ looked at particular poems that directly influenced his projects.

The chairman of the judges described the chapel as “a stunning and worthy Gold Award winner.” He went on to say that the project “…embodies the Wood Awards’ celebration of excellence in design and craftsmanship in wood, and even exceeds the hope that the building might be a ‘work of art that would touch the spirit’.”
