Also quoted is Tony Kettle re company direction: 'It is the same as it has always been. We are interested in high-quality design...we are not interested in commercial tat which won't win awards.' UK's Largest Architects Building magazine's latest survey of the largest UK architects places the Scottish architects Holmes Partnership at 11th. Top place goes to Building Design Partnership, followed by Dyer - the architects of QMUC - and HOK international - architects of the new Telford College. Meanwhile BD and AJ both publish 'top 100' surveys, the former with Michael Laird Architects top of the Scots at 41st followed by Keppie and Cooper Cromar. BDP, who recently moved its studio from Glasgow's Blythswood Square to Exchange Place, came top in the Architects' Journal's AJ100 survey - by employing the greatest number of UK qualified architects, and second in the BD Impact 100 survey which uses a different set of criteria, to Foster & Partners RIAS Sketch Comp 1st: Kelly MacKinnon of Anderson Bell + Christie - Govan Sketch Competition Culloden Gareth Hoskins Architects receives planning permission for the new visitor attraction and interpretive landscaping at the battlefield site of Culloden North Glasgow College RMJM appointed for £20m North Glasgow College facility in Springburn Brian Stewart's so-called 'departure' from leading RMJM is splashed across the front cover of BD (and AJ, etc.) with reference to the impact of Holyrood. We understand that a differance of opinion over the direction of RMJM may have led to the stories but RMJM state 'Brian Stewart is on extended leave'. Brian was shown on the Gathering Place programme to be totally committed to the Scottish Parliament project, and was heavily instrumental in ensuring quality was not lost in the rush to complete the job: we wish him well Dumbreck gm+ad architects receives planning permission for Dumbreck School. The application will now go forward to the Scottish Executive for final approval Glasworks 'Glasworks are currently putting together a photo weblog of the detail that makes up Glasgow. It will be based on our daily journeys through the city and how the various details that make up a city, influence our thoughts our actions and our decisions. Why do we take a particular route from A to B? Why do we vary it? Detail of old and new building will be incorporated into the various journeys we make from our studio to various places around the city' glasgowdetail.blogspot.com RIAS Chief Exec Mary Wrenn has been appointed the new Chief Executive of the RIAS: Mary has been Director of the Royal Society of Architects in Wales since 1993 |
