The Brewery Yard by Tzannes

"From the Architect: This project integrates the plant equipment for a tri-generation plant with the historic Carlton and United Brewery building on the fringe of the 
Sydney CBD... We developed an innovative formal solution to this problem where the
form of the new work arose from the integration of complex profile of the existing roofline with the organic regular form of the plant equipment within."

University of Westminster BAIA work at Freerange Exhibition, Brick Lane

'Non-conformist' Guest Rooms by heri&salli, Heribert Wolfmayr and Josef Saller

The "architectural duo heri&salli... turned their backs on technological temptations to come up with a kind of 'negative design' that renders the history and original fabric of the building visible. This is seen in the exposed wooden beams and locally-made bricks that lend the rooms a cave-like atmosphere."

'Everything is Architecture' Discussion on Fri 19 June, 1pm at the ICA

"With the spotlight on architecture as the London Festival of Architecture takes over the capital this month and we look ahead to our forthcoming display Everything is Architecture: Bau Magazine from the 60s and 70s (opening 28 July), our Culture Now series looks to architectural practice.

In light of the upcoming display Everything is Architecture: Bau Magazine from the 60s and 70s, this talk serves as a precursory investigation into the little-known Austrian magazine Bau, co-edited between 1965 and 1970 by Hans Hollein, Walter Pichler, Günther Feuerstein and others.

Part of the London Festival of Architecture, for this event, Prof. Murray Fraser will chair a discussion with Peter Cook and architectural historian (and occasional visiting critic for BAIA) Dr. Eva Branscome."
