  • Introduction Association (AA) School Where She Was Awarded the Diploma Prize in 1977
    Studio London Zaha Hadid, founder of Zaha Hadid Architects, was awarded the Pritzker 10 Bowling Green Lane Architecture Prize (considered to be the Nobel Prize of architecture) in 2004 and London EC1R 0BQ is internationally known for her built, theoretical and academic work. Each of T +44 20 7253 5147 her dynamic and pioneering projects builds on over thirty years of exploration F +44 20 7251 8322 and research in the interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture and design. [email protected] www.zaha-hadid.com Born in Baghdad, Iraq in 1950, Hadid studied mathematics at the American University of Beirut before moving to London in 1972 to attend the Architectural Introduction Association (AA) School where she was awarded the Diploma Prize in 1977. She founded Zaha Hadid Architects in 1979 and completed her first building, the Vitra Fire Station, Germany in 1993. Hadid taught at the AA School until 1987 and has since held numerous chairs and guest professorships at universities around the world. She is currently a professor at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and visiting professor of Architectural Design at Yale University. Working with senior office partner, Patrik Schumacher, Hadid’s interest lies in the rigorous interface between architecture, landscape, and geology as her practice integrates natural topography and human-made systems, leading to innovation with new technologies. The MAXXI: National Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome, Italy and the London Aquatics Centre for the 2012 Olympic Games are excellent manifestos of Hadid’s quest for complex, fluid space. Previous seminal buildings such as the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati and the Guangzhou Opera House in China have also been hailed as architecture that transforms our ideas of the future with new spatial concepts and dynamic, visionary forms.

  • A: Chris Loyn
    Architect Q&A: Chris Loyn Having worked from a provincial town near Cardiff for nearly three decades, Welsh architect Chris Loynhas recently achieved extraordinary things. His firm Loyn & Co Architects has garnered international recognition for its published projects and gives a rare and valuable insight into the latest thoughts, philosophies, and practices in design. Chris Loyn spoke to Luxury Defined about his life’s work and the influences that underpin both his and his firm’s success. What was your earliest encounter with architecture? One of my earliest memories is that of a bedroom extension at my parents’ home in Cardiff during the early 1960s. A Victorian porch was replaced with a two-story, flat-roofed “cube.” I was fascinated with the scale of the change. Not only did it create a new bedroom and other accommodation, but also (unofficially) a space on the flat roof above it that you could access by climbing through a loft window. Sitting there, you could watch the world go by. Today, my office is in a large Victorian property that we extended and where you can sit (officially) on the roof, just like I did all those years ago. When and why did you set up Loyn & Co? I set up in practice in 1987 two years after my first son, Seb, was born. In 1989, my second son Jack had a brain haemorrhage at two weeks old. As a result he is severely disabled and has cerebral palsy. I wanted to be around both my children and my wife, so continuing to work at home was the perfect solution.

  • Family History Research at London Transport Museum
    Family history research at London Transport Museum Introduction This factsheet is for family historians researching ancestors who have connections with public transport in London. Many thousands of people have been employed across the different modes of transport over the years, but unfortunately relatively few records survive because there is no business or statutory requirement to keep them beyond a few years. The guide to sources below is designed to help you identify surviving records that may be related to your research. It tells you where they are located and how you can access them. Questions at the end of this factsheet may also help you get started on your family history journey. Museum Library London Transport Museum Library, Albany House, 98 Petty France, London SW1H 9EA You may want to visit the Library as part of your research. Information about our collection and how to contact us or arrange a visit is on our Library page on the Museum website. Where to start To find relevant staff records, you first need to identify which company your ancestor might have worked for and the years when they may have been employed there. The London Passenger Transport Board (also known as London Transport) was formed in 1933. Before then, public transport in London was run by many different companies operating the buses, trams and underground railway lines. You might know your ancestor’s job from a certificate or photograph. If you know where they lived in London, you could use that as a starting point to identify their employer. Be aware though that in the past people often walked long distances to go to work.

WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, please see http://www.wpi.edu/academics/ugradstudies/project-learning.html. ii Abstract The Learning Team at the London Transport Museum utilised paper and pen- based evaluations that were time-consuming and resource-intensive. Our project automated these evaluations by producing several digital surveys administrable with iPads. We created tools to analyze survey results and produced an analysis report showcasing the Learning Team’s progress towards its target outcomes. To ensure continued success, we recommend the Learning Team continues to update and improve its Microsoft Forms, protect and maintain its iPads, and conduct more frequent evaluations. iii Acknowledgements This project
