EDINBURGH : Michael Wolchover Exhibition
6 Feb - 3 Mar
Michael Wolchover - exhibition at Embo Deli, 29 Haddington Place, Leith Walk, Edinburgh, EH7 4AG
Phone: 01316523880 Monday February 6 to Saturday March 3
Official Opening - Friday February 10 from 5-6pm

"After a lifetime of producing documentary material combining still and moving images, I now concentrate almost exclusively on still photography, usually interpreting some aspect of the built environment for architects, developers and contractors. Increasingly, my photography seeks to reveal the content of things by exploring their form - a kind of benign abstraction.

Aided by the development of digital media, I am beginning to move away from client commissions into work for publication and exhibition. The pieces displayed here at Embo use images gathered from a number of more or less recent projects and assembled in a variety of configurations. They are presented as archival inkjet prints on fine art paper and available framed and unframed, unique or in small editions."

GLASGOW: AE Foundation Lecture 3 - Architecture
10 Feb
Lecture 3 of 'The Architect in Public Life' series
Rolf Jenni and Tom Weiss, Principal Partners of Raumbureau, with Jan Kinsbergen Architect Friday 10 February 2012 18:00-21:00

The Mackintosh School of Architecture, Glasgow

£7.00 advance booking online
£10.00 on the door

Present-day architectural debate and production in Switzerland is dominated by a tendency to indulge regressive traditional imagery. Hidden within a deeply rooted culture of consensus and in unquestioning accord with the demands of the market, conventionalist values are established in order to resist the equalizing power and the uncertainty brought by globalization. Thus current architecture epitomizes a morally motivated suspicion toward anything experimental or radical. In opposition, Rolf Jenni, Tom Weiss and Jan Kinsbergen share the conviction, that architecture is itself the frame within which alternative forms of life and visions for the society are revealed and debated. They push the boundaries of convention because they believe that it has always been radical disciplinary thinking that advances architectural production. Their critique is not limited to Switzerland. It is an analysis of a general culture of relativism that regards the individual creative endeavour as a reoccurring spectacle, rather than a means to progress.

Rolf Jenni and Tom Weiss established Raumbureau in 2008. They studied architecture at the University of Applied Sciences in Biel (Prof. Ralph Thut) and urbanism at the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam (Prof. Elia Zenghelis). They teach at the ETH Studio Basel Contemporary City Institute and the Zurich University of Applied Sciences. In their practice they explore the field of architecture and its relationship with the city and the territory by means of a common and rational architecture.

Jan Kinsbergen studied Architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich. He received his degree in Architecture in 1993 (Prof. Hans Kollhoff), worked for Steven Holl Architects in New York 1994-1999 and in 2000 established his own firm in New York and 2002 in Zurich. He has had teaching appointments at GSAPP Columbia University and ETH Zurich. His work has been exhibited and published internationally and nominated for several awards.

GLASGOW: Working Drawing - The Hand Generated Image Masterclass
17 Mar 2012
“One can learn everything there is to know about an architect by studying their hand drawings, the degree of rigour and research that they bring to their projects, their attitudes and their sensitivities. It is no overstatement to suggest that hand drawing represents the stain of the true architect’s soul on paper.” Alan Dunlop

This full day masterclass is linked to Alan Dunlop’s Working Drawing exhibition of original artwork that is being shown at the House from 21 February to 19 March 2012. The exhibition focuses on Dunlop’s Working Drawings, produced not by CAD but by hand, which illustrate his design process and question what may have been lost in “architecture as art” by our increasing reliance on computer technology.

During the morning session, Professor Dunlop will present a talk on his passion for hand drawing in architecture, focusing on the inspirational drawings of great architects and artists, such as Louis Kahn, Paul Rudolph, Muirhead Bone and Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

Dunlop will provide an insight into of one of his own design projects - from early conceptual sketches through to completed drawings, exploring the process of drawing by hand and consequently the process of thinking.

This will be followed by a light lunch in the Art Lover’s Cafe where participants will have informal opportunities to discuss issues arising from the morning session with Professor Dunlop and Dr Cain.

An interactive drawing workshop that aims to encourage participants to consider drawing as a thinking process will be led by the artist Patricia Cain in the afternoon session.

This masterclass provides 2 hours of RIAS recognised CPD Enrolment and Booking

Saturday 17 March 2012 from 10.00am - 4.00pm
Masterclass Fee £50 (includes all materials, refreshments and a light lunch) Age Group: 16+ adults

Places are limited so early booking is recommended. Tickets are available to purchase from the Art Lovers Shop between 9am – 5pm daily, either in person, by telephoning 0141 353 4776.
