35 Doors and 19 Windows for the new Sala Beckett

The lecture will focus on the process of designing and building the Sala Beckett Theatre in Barcelona, the most recent work by the Flores & Prats architecture studio.

The project has been developed in close relationship with the Theatre Director and the existing building.

The way in which the Sala Beckett team and the Flores & Prats studio develop their ideas is by testing them physically. The handicrafts practised by the theatre team are similar to the way the studio develops their ideas: through hand drawings, modelling and conversation. This similarity facilitated the relationship during the design process.

Search every Part 2 studio in London by theme, site and school

Model by Grant Shepherd, University of Westminster, DS16 

The Architecture Foundation’s database of all Part 2 studios in London is now live. It can be accessed at www.architecturefoundation.org.uk/schools

The Architecture Foundation has "developed this free resource with the aim of opening up lines of communication between students and tutors exploring similar fields of research in different universities.

The 88 studio descriptions are tagged with keywords relating to the topics being investigated and the places where projects are being developed. A student at the Cass concerned with the future of light industry in the Old Kent Road can therefore quickly establish that colleagues at the Bartlett are also focused on manufacturing while others at the AA are working in the same part of London."

Tales of the City

Forget the boulevard and the block: it’s an inherent confusion that makes cities so vital. Against a background of mutating functions, and accidental superimpositions, switching scales and flashes of desire, Nigel Coates has always drawn inspiration from the entire breadth of the urban environment. Architecture always needs to celebrate its contingency on life in the city and raise the bar for the citizen. In our role as architects and designers, how can we channel this turbulent mix? In his own form of architectural storytelling citing installations exhibited in various galleries over three decades, Coates will explore his recurring theme of the fictional urban model. From 'Ecstacity' to 'Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens', these mix photography, found objects, 3D printed buildings and occasional film and furniture of his own design.
