麻豆社
exhibition and book celebrate new architecture
A
major exhibition, Building the 麻豆社: A Return to Form, charting
the 麻豆社's new approach to commissioning architecture, will go on
show at the Royal Institute of British Architects from 6 to 28 June
2003.
The
exhibition coincides with the publication of a new book on the same
theme by Nicola Jackson.
To
celebrate the launch, Radio 3's flagship arts and ideas programme
Night Waves will stage a debate - The Value of Architecture.
The
debate examines the problems facing quality architecture today and
takes place on Thursday (5 June 2003) at 5.00pm.
It
will be chaired by Night Waves presenter and ICA Director Philip
Dodd and panellists include
Sir Richard MacCormac and Amanda Levete.
It
will be broadcast on 12 June at 9.30pm to mark the beginning of
Radio 3's year-long focus on architecture.
The
麻豆社 has placed architecture high on its agenda for the next decade
and is currently developing a range of major new buildings around
the country which are featured in the exhibition.
The
麻豆社's flagship headquarters, Broadcasting House, is set by 2008
to become the largest live broadcast centre in the world in an innovative
scheme by MacCormac Jamieson Prichard.
The
17-acre White City development by Allies and Morrison aims to integrate
the 麻豆社 far more into the local community with a broadcast centre,
offices and greatly increased public access.
In
Glasgow, Pacific Quay is the site for the new home of 麻豆社 Scotland
in an exciting new building by David Chipperfield that incorporates
studios, offices and large public areas.
In
Birmingham the 麻豆社 is relocating to the new Mailbox development
in a scheme designed by Building Design Partnership.
Further
schemes, including improvements to Television Centre in London and
other projects around the country, will be announced in the future.
The
exhibition is curated and designed by Wordsearch with 3D design
by Block Architecture and is presented as part of Architecture Week
2003.
