Principles are Principles, but Variety is the Spice of Life!
Dumfries & Galloway
Principles are Principles, but Variety is the Spice of Life!
Thursday 29 July, 5.00pm
Online
Book your ticket for ‘Principles are Principles, but Variety is the Spice of Life’ with James Simpson!
Conservation is securing the survival of things we have inherited from the past or even things we have made ourselves, which we value and wish to pass on to future generations. These things come in many forms: they may be ‘natural’ or ‘cultural’ and as well as buildings may include rare species, artefacts, energy, traditions, or anything else we value. Architecture covers the design, construction and alteration of buildings, based on careful thought and management.
Architectural conservation, just like good design, requires good decision-making, based on thorough research, recording and analysis. In this day and age, climate change and the need for sustainability are as strong drivers of building conservation as physical environment, culture and heritage. The joy of conservation practice, whether one is a textile conservator, a botanist or an architect lies in the range of tasks one has to face. Each project and each day are different: ‘variety is the spice of life’!
In this talk, work to three buildings will be described, the survival of which has taken massive effort, but each has proved to be far more valuable in the end than seemed likely at the beginning. The Fish Teas House, the Botanic Cottage and the little villa ‘by Esca’s flow’ry bank, where the harmonious thrush repeats his love’!
James Simpson OBE BArch (Hons) RIBA FRIAS studied Architecture at the Edinburgh College of Art and received his BArch(Hons) degree from the Heriot-Watt University. He trained with Ian G. Lindsay & Partners in Edinburgh, where he was trained on a range of restoration projects, including Iona Abbey, Mylne’s Court, St Cecilia’s Hall, and Newhaven Village. In 1977 he joined Stewart Brown to form the firm of Simpson & Brown.
Over more than forty years Simpson & Brown has grown to become a leading architectural practice in Scotland and the UK, with a particular reputation for conservation and, more recently for visitor centres and similar small work in historic settings. Projects have included work at Yester House, Arniston House, Alderman Fenwick’s House in Newcastle, Auchinleck House, Law’s Close in Kirkcaldy, Stirling Tolbooth and many others. The campaign of his career has been for Mavisbank. He retired from his partnership in 2009 and from his consultancy in 2019 but remains close to the practice.
James has been a member of several boards and committees, including the Ancient Monuments Board for Scotland, the Royal Commission on the Ancient & Historic Monuments of Scotland, the Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland, Scottish Civic Trust, Edinburgh World Heritage Trust and ICOMOS-UK. He has initiated and co-founded several charitable trusts, including the Building Limes Forum, the Scottish Historic Buildings Trust and the Scottish Redundant Churches Trust – now Historic Churches Scotland. He remains active in the Conservation Movement, proud of what has been achieved by so many in the last half century, and coming to believe that the survival and continued use of existing building stock has become as important to the Climate Change agenda as it is to the cultural environment and heritage.

The July webinar will be hosted by two architects from Collective Architecture, winners of Architect of the Year at the 2018 AJ Architecture Awards.
The panellists will be presenting their Community, Cultural and Care projects to explain their collaborative working processes ensuring client and user needs are fully captured.
Architects, Mairi Laverty and Ewan Imrie from Collective Architecture shall discuss some key award-winning Community, Cultural and Care projects to explain their collaborative working processes (to ensure that client and user needs are fully understood) and their ideas in designing spaces for people to feel comfortable, safe and inspired.
The Panel:

Ewan has been a 5th Year Architecture tutor at Strathclyde University since 2006 and currently runs a design unit titled Provocation, Art and Political Space.
Ewan’s projects vary dramatically in scope and scale, ranging from bespoke exhibitions and a museum storage facility in Paisley to the delivery of large-scale housing regeneration projects. Ewan’s projects have been highly acclaimed and have won numerous awards in reflection of his exceptional design ability, rigorous attention to detail and understanding of place. Recently, The Secret Collection in Paisley won several awards for excellence in dealing with a technically challenging refurbishment of a basement into a publicly accessible museum facility.
Ewan’s current projects include a new Central Library for Paisley, Collective Architecture’s own office fit out in Glasgow, alterations to the Scottish Sculpture Workshop in Lumsden and a residential home for young adults with autism at Camphill School, Aberdeen.

They focus on mixed-use buildings which will soon be offering plenty of office space, BTR accommodation, as well as hospitality and retail opportunities, all while keeping an eye on energy and sustainability standards. Not to mention the positive economic impact these projects will bring.

EXPENSIVE SHIT: ST. PETER’S SEMINARY

An archaeological apparition talks about a Modernist ruin, where the unravelling fabric reflects the ruin of society today and why that must be valued.

St Peter’s Seminary
Cardross G82 5EY
Not accessible
St Peter’s Seminary, arguably the magnum opus of its architects Andy MacMillian and Isi Metzstein, has found cult status as an abandoned building frequented by architects, vandals, photographers, and graffiti artists. It lies on the fringes of space and time, of reality, a dangerous hulk that determined visitors choose to enter at their own risk.
St Peter’s is often touted as an architectural masterpiece. But is that really what makes this place significant? The Seminary, recalcitrant in the face of its designers, its owners, its prospective saviours or destroyers seems determined to continue on its crumbling path 30 years after the lights were switched off for the last time.
Archaeologist Joss Durnan asks what fate this place demands and if, perhaps, its inevitable succumbing to ruination is the fate we deserve of it.
No one is invited.

Guest presentations from HLM and Sheppard Robson Architects.
Award-winning bathroom product designers Crosswater will be showcasing the latest for their New Vanguard collection called ITALY.
SHELF, a fantastic addition to Schlüter-Systems’ range of solutions for tile and stone.

Ahead of its official launch later this summer, we are privileged to have a preview of their latest collection, the ‘Domus Aura’ range, at The Briggait in June. A precision engineered oak flooring, each plank or parquet piece displays its own unique markings, grain, and texture, showing the inherent natural characteristics of wood.

The building was originally used as Glasgow’s fish market until the late 1970s. It was then converted into a shopping centre during the 1980s. This proved to be a temporary venture. In the 21st century it was converted into artists studios which opened to the public in August 2010. The steeple which dates back to 1665 has been restored.

SSEG Talk: Sunspaces and their Performance – Energy and Amenity
7 February 2018
Time: 6.30pm – 8.30pm
Venue: Principal Seminar Room 1 (ground floor), Reid Building, The Glasgow School of Art, 167 Renfrew Street, Glasgow, G3 6RQ
Cost: Non SSEG Members £10, Concession £5, SSEG Members Free
The environmental monitoring of sunspaces, not only the measurements within them relative to rooms behind, but how the sunspaces were designed in terms of their ventilation to the outside and through to the interior, have given us some insight with this new research. This includes how the users engage with manual controls at their disposal and what uses they make of the sunspaces.
The measurements and other information should give us some idea as to whether they save energy (as a solar enhanced, edge-insulating buffer, and/or a solar-ventilation-preheat source) and how they function as an amenity (e.g. relaxation, clothes drying).
