Ecoled have a stunning minimalist range of lighting types and systems which illuminated the exhibition beautifully www.ecoledlight.co.uk.
Gingerbread City is an exhibition and series of workshops that make up the museum’s annual winter fundraiser, masterplanned and sponsored by Tibbalds Planning and Urban Design. Architecture practices such as Foster and partners and Hopkins architects submitted gingerbread buidings to fit their allocated plots. The city was divided into areas such as the historical district and industrial area. The designs reflected the urban typology.
St Paul’s Trip
Brooks Murray architects were generously invited by one of our clients to have a private tour of St Pauls Cathedral. The Brooks Murray contingent was split into two groups and allowed access into the areas not generally accessible to the public. We had a tour of the whispering gallery, the archive room replete with the original hand drawn sections and elevations of the original cathedral as well as all the restorative and renewed designs. Finally, we were given a tour of the library and archive detailing the stone works which have taken place over the years.
