They also promote the benefits of good Zaha Hadid has been selected as Londoner of the Year 2015 for a number of reasons. First, for the architecture and good design, they publicise quality and reassure clients in the quality of her architecture, its innovation and the choices they have made in delivering a project. It sometimes feels discriminatory development of new forms of expression. Second, because she is a forceful icon and role model for to select a single winner from the excellent shortlists of projects but we like to women in architecture. Despite the rhetoric, the think that everyone is a winner in the New London Awards.

This commission on the capital. publication and the exhibition of winning and shortlisted projects ensure that their selection is widely promulgated, to the benefit of London and those that deliver the best of design in the capital. NEW LONDON AWARDS COMMISSIONING EXCELLENCE, NATIONAL THEATRE This year, it was thought pertinent to give a special nod to a client, a first for the New London Awards. The Royal National Theatre is custodian of one the masterpieces of late 20th century architecture and a key London landmark designed by Sir Denys Lasdun. It is a building that has required updating over the years to meet the changing needs of the company and its audiences. The interventions commissioned by the RNT have always been carried out with the utmost respect for the existing building and Lasdun’s approach to architecture and placemaking. Extensions and internal alterations marry effortlessly with the building’s original fabric; even temporary buildings are masterful pieces of architecture while night-time illumination add a sense of real theatre to the South Bank panorama. Like the theatre’s productions, the maintenance and refurbishment of its buildings are carried out to the highest professional standards. 4 NEW LONDON 2015/2016 FOREWORD 5 CONSERVATION & RETROFIT Sponsored by Urban Space Management As London struggles to meet its East put the spotlight firmly on the way growing demand for commercial that creative reuses of existing buildings space, opting to retrofit existing – even those as big and recent as the buildings rather than start afresh is former Media Centre at the London paying dividends.

    Opinion thestructuralengineer.org Hanif Kara Profi le Hanif Kara is a world-class structural engineer who is more appreciated by those outside his profession than those within it; or that, at least, is how he feels. Jackie Whitelaw talks to a man who wonders if he is too diff erent to be embraced by the establishment. Figure 2 Wishbone-shaped trusses and ETFE-clad roof for Birmingham New Street station N I E L D E I R F N A J Founding director of AKT II, Hanif Kara – a man recognised for raising the debate on engineering of the world rather than the world of engineering – has a phrase to describe how many of his peers perceive him. ‘It is often said that I am weird and diff erent,’ he reports. On one hand, he’s happy with that – clients, universities and non-engineering organisations notice and see these as positive attributes; on the other, there’s an element of disappointment as he feels his success is generally less understood by the "IT IS GOOD TO COMBINE WEIRDNESS WITH TECHNICAL engineering establishment.

  • Investment Market Commentary
    INVESTMENT MARKET COMMENTARY For the Period 1 October – 31 December 2020 PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL APAM Ltd 3 Barrett Street London W1U 1AY T: 0207 963 8858 | E: | W: www.apamuk.com [email protected] As at 6 January 2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On Christmas Eve 2020, the UK and EU agreed a trade deal, ahead of the end of the transition period in January 2021. The deal has been referred to as a framework, with key issues such as financial services, to continue to be debated in the New Year. Yet, the deal represents a key moment in the UK’s exit from the bloc and assuages any concerns over the damaging effects of crashing out in a no-deal scenario. In certain areas, such as tax and state aid, the UK and EU have agreed high level commonality in rules but have not yet fleshed out the details. In other areas, such as farming, the UK has accepted greater friction in trade with the EU in order to assure the flexibility to strike deals with the rest of the world. With the conclusion of the EU trade deal and a separate deal with Turkey, the UK has now signed 62 trade agreements since it left the European Union. The markets have responded positively to the UK’s progress as it endeavours to redefine itself as a forward-thinking green tech hub in the post-Brexit world. After emerging from a month-long lockdown, the UK successfully approved and administered the world’s first COVID-19 vaccine. Markets rallied on the news with the MSCI All-Country World Index climbing by a record 12.2% in November, followed by a correction on 21 December after the discovery of a variant strain of the virus and the imposition of a strict lockdown which is expected to last until February.

Small, light-footed practices have a unique competitive advantage over bigger organisations, which are weighed down by existing processes and drawn-out decision-making. As a small practitioner, how can you overcome the limits on your time and resources and turn size and deftness to your advantage? By becoming more efficient, is there a way that your practice can gain commercial benefit from what you are currently doing, so you retain more profit? Is it possible to not just survive, but to achieve growth and profitability and punch above your weight? The conference day is devised to highlight how small practitioners can positively manage change and adopt new beneficial ways of working. There is an emphasis on continuous bite-size improvement rather than wholescale transformation: identifying the right tools and processes that can make the difference. A session is also dedicated to areas in which architects are expanding the scope of their services, gaining additional business by increasing their offer to clients.

[…] With this soundtrack we will get closer than ever before to Hitler’s private world.2 As artefacts, home movies may have self-evident historical relevance, but certainly not in the raw. Despite their seemingly indexical relationship to reality,3 – an assumption that is based on an imagined point-and-shoot innocence – as Zimmermann has pointed out, they in fact “require mining, excavation, exhumation, reprocessing, and reconsideration.”4 This article examines two slightly but crucially divergent versions of one such act of reprocessing, analysing how each act of repurposing brings radically different types of historical meaning to the fore.
