bloggers welcome!

Im not sure if everyone is aware, but if anyone on the M.Arch course has anything interesting* they would like to see published on this blog they can forward anything they feel appropriate to myself or Stelios and we will post it asap! This includes photos of studio work, reflections on seminars, notification of upcoming events etc. It is of course our blog, rather than mine, or Stelios’.

Happy blogging, I look forward to your submissions!

* Any ’tongue in cheek’ comments and inappropriate architectural banter will im afraid be filtered out! These matters are best reserved for facebook where only your family, friends and occasionally employers can persecute you!… sorry about that!

Buro Happold Workshop

Today we were lucky in having Peter Moseley, a partner at Buro Happold in the studio to talk to us and challenge us to think about our buildings environmental strategies and how they were responding to their climatic context. The workshop comprised of producing a model of a 1:20 section through two spaces of our buildings with different environmental demands. The irony was not lost on many in the studio at how we were suffering today as a result of our own environmental climate!.. I’ll say no more on that…

All in all, a productive day!
