New Staff
Please welcome our newest team members, Jasmine Theobald and Zane Zeivate! Jasmine started with us in the last week before the summer degree show opening so some of you will have already met her. Zane has just started and will be working with us this year to cover Paulina who will be going on maternity leave. You can read more about their work here.
Inspiring things to look at!
The AiM project
Earlier this year we launched the Architects Index of Modelmaking. The AiM is an online source of practice inspiration for modelmaking and provides a growing list of practices who use models in the design work. Find out more at www.the-aim.co.uk and follow the AiM on Instagram @aimodelmaking
In support of the project we have an ongoing exhibition at the European Cultural Centre as part of this years Venice Biennale which runs until November 23rd. Back in June a panel of speakers discussed some of the themes around the project which provided insight and inspiration. You can watch the full event here.
NWSPF Scale Exhibition
The North West Small Practice Forum is a new initiative to bring together and celebrate the work of small architecture practices from the North west. The first event, SCALE, is an exhibition of works which include a great range of models and is well worth a visit. You can see the exhibition at SEESAW, 86 Princess Street, Manchester M1 6NG until October 15th.
New Aprons and Tote Bags
Finally, no new year would be complete without a fresh tote bag for our new starters. This time taking inspiration from the Nolli map style covering the oxford road corridor between B.15 and MTC. Free while stocks last!
And in a change to our extremely fashionable workshop aprons we have gone full red this year.
See you all soon!
