WongAvery Gallery featured in Architecture Today

The WongAvery Gallery for Trinity Hall in Cambridge has been featured in this months edition of Architecture Today. The building was visited by Architect John Pardey for the AT who comments that " Níall McLaughlin Architects’ exquisite music practice and performance space for Trinity Hall, Cambridge, may be diminutive in scale, but it joins a small pantheon of modernist projects that can be considered total works of art".

THE GUARDIAN ON THE ROYAL ACADEMY SUMMER EXHIBITION

JUNE 2022

The Guardian on the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition

Olly Wainwright has published his Guardian review of this year’s Royal Academy architecture rooms which have been co-curated by Níall McLaughlin and artist Rana Begum. With this year’s theme being ‘Climate’, Wainwright highlights that “Architects and engineers have, after all, some responsibility for the mess we’re in, given that 40% of carbon emissions come from buildings. They also have the means to do something about it”. Níall commented, “there can be a sense of fatalism about the climate, but our discipline can show that imaginative change is possible”. 

The article reviews a few select pieces such as Stonemasonry Company and Webb Yates engineers’ large stone beam titled ‘Equanimity’, the Khudi Bari (or Tiny House), a modular monsoon-resistant shelter designed by Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum, and Thai architect Boonserm Premthada’s ‘Dung Power’ a structure made from elephant dung bricks.
