Architects Backstage Lecture Series F2f London Summary Booklet ARCHITECTS BACKSTAGE LECTURE SERIES F2F LONDON SUMMARY BOOKLET MASTER IN ARCHITECTURAL MANAGEMENT AND DESIGN JULY 2018 WHAT IS THE ARCHITECT’S BACKSTAGE SERIES? It’s year-round series of events with the format of lectures, conversations or round tables, that explore how leading designers approach the challenges of building successful companies, and how they have wisely used the factors, contexts, talent and resources at play in their impactful journeys. Students are expected to actively engage with lecturers, in the analysis of the current and future state of practice. The London F2F period is the most intense moment of the cycle, within the MAMD curriculum. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM IT? • Leading professionals sharing deep insights on practice • A direct and analytical tone • Reflections, not recipes, because there are no recipes • Openness to address a variety of topics, as long as they are related to the day-to-day of professionals in our field • A vision of failure and struggle as a necessary step for success • Openness and disposition towards interesting conversation • Bidirectional confidentiality GENERAL DYNAMIC OF THE EVENTS • Venue arrival: grouping outside before entry. Max 10’ courtesy • Tour of the office, if applicable and relevant to the topic • Lecture presentation by the director, Jerónimo van Schendel • Lecturer intervention: lecture, conversation, round table • Q & A session, very important: . Q&A session will be introduced by the director. .To establish an interesting conversation from the beggining, the first 2-3 questions and Q&A orientation of each event will be made by an assigned group of students, who will briefly study the lecturer beforehand and be ready to establish the conversation, before quickly and organically opening it to the class. .Please see next page for Q&A events assignment. • Short informal debriefing and networking session, depending on the hosting institution. TBC on the go. Q&A ASSIGNMENT OF EVENTS Monday 9. Peter Oborn Group A - Chadi Abboud, Mariángela V.Z., Stephen A.N. Wednesday 11.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO TO TAKE OUT THE MOST OF THIS EXPERIENCE? • Study the lecturers and their work. Research a little bit. • Focus your thoughts on the topic elected for each lecture. • Be analytical, plan possible questions related to each event. You might ask them or not, but this will enrich your learning. • Avoid cliché (it won’t help, nor contribute to the conversation). • Don’t expect recipes. They don’t exist. • Extrapolate insights into your journey, and your objectives. • Share your struggle, if any, on the topics addressed. • Comment with peers, long before and after the event. • Be punctual. These outstanding speakers participate in the MAMD because they believe in its vision, the success of this events depends on having everyone equally invested.

  • The Glasgow School of Art Oration for Andy Bow Andy Bow Sir Norman
    The Glasgow School of Art Oration for Andy Bow Andy Bow Sir Norman Foster once said, “As an architect you design for the present, with an awareness of the past and for a future which is essentially unknown.” Andy Bow is a senior partner in Foster and Partners, arguably the world’s most consistently innovative post war architectural practice. Since its inception in 1963, the practice has won an unprecedented number of international awards and competitions. Its output ranges from city masterplans to door handles; from yachts and bridges to light fittings. Few practices have embraced the uncertainties of the future so positively and with such confidence. Andy Bow has always displayed the key qualities of the very best Mac graduate; a sense of adventure and unbounded energy, a predisposition to collaboration, a passion for drawing, a generous spirit and the ability to remain close to both local roots and international horizons. These were all in evidence when, shortly after graduating and in collaboration with his long-standing friends and current Mac tutors Ian Alexander and Henry McKeown, they won the prestigious Manhattan Waterfront Competition. Chancellor, Andy Bow was born in 1961 in Edinburgh. He attended George Watson’s College, Telford College of Further Education and the Mackintosh School of Architecture at the Glasgow School of Art. Like myself, he chose to mix practice and education by joining the Mac’s part time course; a heady mixture of daytime office responsibilities and evening classes. When he eventually became a full time student, his studio design reviews quickly attracted attention. The potent mixture of his astonishing drawings and memorable exchanges with staff, particularly professors Andy McMillan and the late Isi Metzstein became must –see events for his fellow students.

  • IT IS GOOD to COMBINE WEIRDNESS with TECHNICAL Engineering Establishment
    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. INGENUITY IF YOU WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND MAKE ‘I don’t fi t the mould that many people BUILDINGS STAND UP THAT OTHERS CAN’T" are comfortable with. But then, one of my mentors and clients, Peter Rogers, reassured Prize-winning Peckham Library in London, as me early on that it is good “to combine well as the capital’s building of the moment weirdness with technical ingenuity if you – the Bloomberg European Headquarters want to be successful and make buildings (Figure 1).

    #RIBAgt Architecture.com/GuerrillaTactics2017 #RIBAgt I With thanks to: SMALL PRACTICE CONFERENCE Creative Director: David Miller, David Miller Architects AND CPD DAY Guerrilla Tactics Steering Group: Chris Bryant, alma-nac, RIBA Small Practice Group Chair Cassion Castle, Cassion Castle Architects Rachael Davidson, HÛT Architecture Barbara Kaucky, erect architecture Petra Marko, Marko&Placemakers DAY 1 Tuesday 14th November Conference Day: The Power of Small: Embracing agility in practice to affect big change In the current professional environment, when both technologies and market conditions are shifting fast, the ability to be agile and adaptable to change is the key to success. 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.

This implies that a building should be designed in a way that will allow it to be repurposed when changing circumstances require changes in its layout or function; being energy efficient and environmentally sensitive is not enough. The building also needs to be financially viable and the people whose lives are impacted by it should wish to have it retained. As far as flexibility of high-rise or skyscraper buildings is concerned, the structural system and layout are some, but not the only aspects that are of particular importance in this regard.

The tendency is sustained rather than challenged by the ubiquity of digital technology. 2 Ontotopology Experience is not an event 'in' the mind, separate from the environment. Rather the mind emerges from the interaction with the environment. Consequently, by modulating perception one can already modulate subsequent action. This antecedent level of potentialisation is proto-epistemological and already ontological in that it concerns change in the body's degree of enablement in and towards its environment.

  • The Work of Foster and Partners Specialist Modelling Group
    The Work of Foster and Partners Specialist Modelling Group Brady Peters and Xavier DeKestellier Foster and Partners Architects and Designers Riverside Three 22 Hester Road London, UK SW11 4AN Abstract The following paper is a brief introduction to Foster and Partners and the work of its Specialist Modelling Group (SMG). The SMG was formed in 1997 and has been involved in over 100 projects. The SMG expertise encompasses architecture, art, math and geometry, environmental analysis, geography, programming and computation, urban planning, and rapid prototyping. The SMG brief is to carry out project-driven research and development. The group consults in the area of project workflow, advanced three-dimensional modelling techniques, and the creation of custom digital tools. The specialists in the team are a new breed of architectural designer, requiring an education based in design, math, geometry, computing, and analysis. 1. Foster and Partners Foster and Partners is an international studio for architecture, planning and design led by Norman Foster and a group of Senior Partners. Norman Foster's philosophy of integration can be seen in the way the practice's London design studio works; it is essentially one large open space, shared equally by everyone, and free of subdivisions to encourage good communication between the many people who come together there. The practice's work ranges in scale from the largest construction project on the planet, Beijing International airport to its smallest commission, a range of door furniture. The scope of its work includes masterplans for cities, the design of buildings, interior and product design, graphics and exhibitions. These can be found throughout the world, from Britain, Europe and Scandinavia to the United States, Hong Kong, Japan, China, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Australia.

  • Press Release Mclaren Technology Centre Shortlisted for 2005 Stirling Prize
    Press release 27 July 2005 McLaren Technology Centre shortlisted for 2005 Stirling Prize Foster and Partners McLaren Technology Centre has been included on the six project shortlist of the coveted RIBA Stirling Prize, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. The Royal Institute of British Architects presents the award annually to "the building which has made the greatest contribution to British Architecture in the past year." The McLaren Technology Centre is a showcase for technology and innovation.
