WONGAVERY GALLERY FEATURED IN ARCHITECTURE TODAY
APRIL 2023
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".

AIAUK 2021 DESIGN AWARDS WINNER
JUNE 2021
Magdalene College Library has won in the Professional Practice Medium Sized Projects category at this year’s AIAUK Design Awards. For over 20 years, The American Institute of Architects UK Chapter Excellence in Design Awards programme has proven highly valued by architects as they confer trans-Atlantic recognition for design excellence. Professional entries are sought from UK-based architects or designers, for projects anywhere in the world, and Architects or designers based outside the UK for projects completed in the UK.
Acknowledging that architecture is a corpus of inherited ideas, Alternative Histories invited more than 80 contemporary practices in the UK and Europe to imagine an exchange with architects from the past. Each office was assigned a different drawing from the collection of Drawing Matter. The architects were then tasked with making a model that not only responded to what they saw, but envisioned an alternative future for the original drawing while adhering to the constraints of the project.
