  • 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.

  • Scottish Parliament Building Edinburgh, Scotland
    Scottish Parliament Building Client: Location: Edinburgh, Scotland Date: Typology: In 1998 EMBT won the bid to design the new Edinburgh Parliament building. The Architect: proposal generated great enthusiasm due to its organic capacity to combine existing Project directors: elements with new technologies through the contemporary and unique language of the Design team: Barcelona studio. The project’s development centered on reflecting the characteristics Gross floor area: of the country and its inhabitants via a new way of building that was directly linked to the land itself. This close tie to the site and its setting would, when the adjacent distillery is demolished, enable the generation of multiple perspective lines on the city. Intentionally, a contrast is sought, a conceptual distance, between the new construction and Holyrood Palace, the twelfth-century royal residence that has been renovated many times. Unlike the palace, which dominates the landscape, the new Scottish Parliament drops literally into the hillside terrain, the lowest part of Arthur’s Seat, and appears to sprout from the living stone.

Not least the wonderful music we are going to hear in the splendour of the greatest surviving Georgian town palace in London. The City Music Foundation – CMF – is just five years old and it was created in this house. Its mission is to turn talent into success by giving training in the “business of music” to soloists and ensembles at the start of their professional careers, as well as promoting them extensively in a modern and professional manner. Several - the Gildas Quartet, Michael Foyle, and Giacomo Smith with the Kansas Smitty’s, are playing for us this evening. This year CMF hopes to move into a more permanent home in the City at St Bartholomew the Less, within the boundaries of St Bartholomew’s Hospital – and within the City of London’s ‘Culture Mile’. This anticipates the relocation of the Museum of London to its new site in Smithfield and the creation of a new Centre for Music on the south side of the Barbican – all exciting developments in the heart of the Capital.

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 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.

The practice of 'design apartheid among professionals' Within this part of my talk, I think there are two distinct design aspects that need to be recognised, discussed and reassessed in the light of the convergence agenda of this conference. First, there are schools of architecture that promote and focus upon a vocational-technical curriculum - and those that promote, almost exclusively, the value of the art of architecture. I will return to this matter later.

This is the first time the Sackler Galleries have been used as part of the Summer Exhibition, giving visitors a dedicated space in which to view works on paper in natural daylight. In these galleries Orr and Stibbon have added depth and context by choosing to show unique works on paper and sculpture alongside prints, and thus Yinka Shonibare MBE RA’s carefully balanced figure ‘Young Academician’ and Michael Sandle RA’s hard- hitting ink drawing ‘Taking Sides’ have found their place here. Orr describes his and Stibbon’s partnership as driven by a healthy “creative tension... ‘We’ve been very catholic and varied in our tastes,” he says. 3 Grayson Perry CBE RA’s politically charged woodcut presides over this space. Indeed, political messaging is prevalent throughout the gallery – in some works more discreetly than others. In the words of Bob and Roberta Smith OBE RA: “Art is Your Human Right”. Other Academicians represented here include Jennifer Dickson, Isaac Julien CBE and Sir Richard Long CBE – who is also showing a site-specific text piece in the Wohl Entrance Hall of our newly restored Burlington Gardens building.

  • 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.
