The notion that we build buildings to last forever is in the past. That was one of the points I took from Michele De Lucchi's lecture "The Equation," which I attended recently. Both a narrative of his life as an architect and a tract on his current philosophical approach towards design, it was intriguing to hear his perspective on the changing influences and techniques in design over the decades and how he has embraced the shifting tides of design even today. #SingaporeDesignWeek #SDW24

A stacked panel of Professor June Williamson from The City College of New York’s Spitzer School of Architecture, with Georgina Harvey, Simon Lee, Avtar S Lotay, and Adrian McGregor - moderated by Ross Elliott - discussed how we can create a future the next generations will want to live in. As leaders in real estate, the panel shared insights on what we can do right now to enable the next generations to thrive in our cities. #ULIAustralia #ULIAustraliaConference #GlobalFutures

City issues: combining architecture, sustainability and gender Join the dialogs and debates in Bogotá on November 13 as we delve into themes such as how to envision future cities, public policies in favor of health and equity, and if we can achieve sustainability in architecture and our built environments. It’s my pleasure to participate in this, the 3rd Congress of Architecture, Gender and Sustainability. https://lnkd.in/dF29bhYW

It's absolutely lovely to see the quality of this amazing project being recognised. It's a brilliant piece of work, undertaken over a very long time by our old firm. (apologies to anyone who's already read 35 posts about this from Thomas) Hearing this news last night stirred up some emotions though. The submission for this award was the last I prepared at Hoskins Architects, before our 25 year old UK business was forced into liquidation, rendering me and around 30 others suddenly unemployed. The joy of the team being given the recognition they so justly deserve, and the pride in the great work our practice put out is tinged with sadness and frustration that it was the last that team would produce together. The commentary from the great and good on Rory McCoy's heart-felt and emotive post at the time echoes those feelings. Overarchingly, however, it's with real fondness that I remember working on marketing this project with my good friend and then colleague Thomas Hamilton. His frantic (otherwise occupied) brain spewing out nuggets for myself and Frances to weave into a coherent message, with the help of the other brilliant folk on the team (Jo and Daniel mainly at that point). It was a real privilege (and I remember recognising that at the time) to collate and edit the pack of information, including text, drawings and sketches, alongside photography from the brilliant Gillian Hayes, that tell the story of this design: - what was there before - why it didn't work and; - what we did to fix it. A simple formula for describing a less than simple renovation, that appears to have borne fruit. Well done to all involved in this mammoth endeavour - it was worth it!

The built environment plays a key role in shaping societal development, necessitating a human-centered approach to our work as designers and architects. This blog by my colleagues Tory Hereford, Peter Pendergrass, and Manan Shah explores the intersection between restorative justice and design, and how we can contribute to more equitable communities and cities. https://ow.ly/QfSQ30sAXeq
