EXHIBITION: Building Fitzwilliam College 1963-2013: An Architectural Journey 26 June – 11 October | Open daily 9am – 5pm SYMPOSIUM Tuesday 25 June 2013 | The Auditorium Programme: 5.30: Dr Barnabas Calder ‘Courts and Community: Denys Lasdun’s Fitzwilliam House’ Panel: Bob Allies, Ted Cullinan, Joanna van Heyningen, Oliver Smith, Johnny Winter. Chair: Professor David Dernie 7.00: Reception 7.45: Dinner Introduction: In 1963 the Fellows and students of Fitzwilliam moved into new buildings designed by Denys Lasdun, a champion of the International Modernist movement in architecture. Fitzwilliam celebrates 50 years on the site with a symposium and an exhibition of photographs, plans and models showing the ways in which Lasdun’s original vision has been interpreted and transformed by successive architects and imaginative landscaping. Six architectural practices have been involved in building Fitzwilliam over the last 50 years – Denys Lasdun and Partners; David Roberts; MacCormac Jamieson Prichard (now MJP Architects); van Heyningen and Haward; Allies and Morrison, and Edward Cullinan Architects (now Cullinan Studio). A close look at the buildings and their complementary gardens shows Fitzwilliam evolving into one of the most appealing of Cambridge college environments in which to live and to study. Abstract: ‘Courts and community: Denys Lasdun’s Fitzwilliam House’, Dr Barnabas Calder. Denys Lasdun was one of the most internationally admired British architects of the 1950s and ‘60s. From 1958 he designed the first buildings for Fitzwilliam House, as part of the institution’s drive to obtain its collegiate status. This lecture will revisit the ‘essential nucleus’ which Lasdun provided as the central point for the College’s future growth, and will compare Lasdun’s strategy for collegiate planning with others of the post- war university expansion, particularly with the court-dominated planning of the various new colleges of Cambridge and Oxford. Fitzwilliam has been overlooked within Lasdun’s body of work. This lecture proposes to recognise it as part of his hugely diverse and energetic stylistic experimentation of the 1950s through which he developed the architecture which was to make him Britain’s leading architect of the 1960s. The design for Fitzwilliam will also be shown to be a close relative of some of his most influential and admired architecture, especially the Royal College of Physicians, designed and built over the same period. Sir Denys Lasdun (1914 -2001) studied at the Architectural Association and worked with Wells Coates before joining Tecton, the practice of Berthold Lubetkin, in 1937. Denys Lasdun & Partners was established in 1959. Fitzwilliam was the first higher education project undertaken, to be followed by the University of East Anglia and New Court at Christ’s College, Cambridge. Probably his best-known work is the National Theatre (1961-76). He was awarded the Royal Gold Medal in 1977 'in recognition of meritorious Modern buildings and their architects at a time when public appreciation of contemporary architecture is at a low ebb'. Fitzwilliam College Storey’s Way Cambridge CB3 0DG www.fitz.cam.ac.uk Registered Charity No: 1137496 Speaker and Panel Biographies Bob Allies is a partner of Allies and Morrison, the practice he founded with Graham Morrison in 1983. He trained at the University of Edinburgh, and was awarded the Rome Scholarship in Architecture; he taught at the University of Cambridge from 1984-1988 and has held visiting professorships at the universities of Edinburgh, Maryland and Bath. He is a member of the Design Council/Cabe Design Review Panel, Chair of the Eastern Region Design Panel and a member of the Mayor’s Design Advisory Group. Dr Barnabas Calder is a Lecturer at the University of Liverpool School of Architecture. His research focuses on the history of architecture since 1950, and he is writing a book on British Brutalism for William Heinemann. At Christ’s College for his PhD on Denys Lasdun he lived in Lasdun’s student residences there, and afterwards he catalogued much of Lasdun’s archive at the RIBA Drawings & Archives Collections. He is now producing an online complete works, Lasdun Online, funded by the Graham Foundation and hosted by the RIBA. RIBA Royal Gold Medallist Ted Cullinan, BA (Cantab), AA Dip, CBE, RA, RIBA, Hon FRIAS, RDI, is an inquisitive, inventive and passionate composer and maker of buildings. He was educated at Cambridge, the Architectural Association and Berkeley. He trained with Denys Lasdun, worked on Fitzwilliam College and helped design the student residences at the University of East Anglia, before setting up his own practice in 1959. While teaching at Cambridge in 1965, he established Edward Cullinan Architects, now Cullinan Studio, as a co-operative.

Over the decades since its opening in 1976, Denys Lasdun’s building, listed Grade II* in 1994. has come to be seen as a London landmark, and a favourite of theatre-goers. The building has served the NT company well. The innovations of its founders and architect – the ampleness of the foyers, the idea that theatre doesn’t start or finish with the rise and fall of the curtain – have been triumphantly borne out. With its Southbank neighbours to the west of Waterloo Bridge, the NT was an early inhabitant of an area that, thirty years later, has become one of the world’s major cultural quarters. The river walk from the Eye to the Design Museum now teems with life - and, as they pass the National, we do our best to encourage them in. The Travelex £10 seasons and now Sunday opening bear out the theatre’s 1976 slogan, “The New National Theatre is Yours”. Greatly helped by the Arts Council, the NT has looked after the building, with a major refurbishment in the nineties, and a yearly spend of some £2million on fabric, infrastructure and equipment.

    RECONSIDERING THE BINNING HOUSE by ADELE MARGOT WEDER B.A. The University of Saskatchewan, 1984 B.J., The University of King's College, 1989 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ADVANCED STUDIES IN ARCHITECTURE in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA January 2005 © Adele Margot Weder, 2005 n. ABSTRACT The 1941 Binning House in West Vancouver has long been hailed as a pioneer of Modernism in domestic Canadian architecture, and an inspiration for much of the West Coast Architecture that followed. Although it is usually described as product of Corbusian rationalism and a paradigm of low-cost dwelling, in fact it is neither. Rather, it is a composite of several competing strains of Modernism and aesthetic values prevalent in London during the year (1938-39) in which Binning resided there to study fine art. The Binning House is often misread as an austerely functionalist plan with an orthogonal layout, but a closer observation and actual measurement of wall and window angles reveals that Binning actually inflected the orthogonal, generating a splayed geometric layout with obtuse and acute angles in several corners, trapezoidal forms in the built-in furniture and studio clerestory window, and a dynamic sense of visual expansion and contraction. Binning's study with Henry Moore was evidently tremendously influential in this regard, as Moore avoided the machine-like aesthetic of the orthogonal and instead imbued his art with oblique, irregular and rounded lines. The oblique motif also manifests in Binning's own drawings of this time.

    Spring/Summer 2019 Hello

    Spring/Summer 2019 Hello Welcome to the 2019 catalogue for Artifice Press. We are delighted to offer a fascinating selection of new titles produced in close collaboration with some of the biggest and most emerging names of the architecture and design world. It has been an eventful yet rewarding year for Artifice – in February 2018, we came under the ownership of the SJH Group, a world-leading creative media group. This partnership has put us in an even stronger position, bringing more scope and enabling us to publish a wider selection of beautiful books to a consistently high standard. We are extremely proud of the titles we present on the following pages of this catalogue, which explore a variety of subject matters such as architecture as a discipline and its relation to the evolution of mankind, alternative ways of developing new cities, and how design can impact people’s lives. We have also worked closely with an international selection of revered architecture practices and institutions to produce beautifully illustrated monographs, which not only characterise their work and the various disciplines adopted, but also document the effect this is having on communities around the world. We are excited about the future for Artifice Press, what this offers for us, and also for our publishing partners. Read on and enjoy.
