RIBA Building London

In November 2013, architecture firm Theis + Khan was selected to transform a 1950s London office into a vibrant work space for the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), which had outgrown its historic headquarters just south of Regent’s Park. Work wrapped up over the summer on the seven-level building, located just a few doors down from the old space, bringing together staff from RIBA and RIBA Enterprises, the group’s professional services arm which had been housed elsewhere.

List of different studies

Our first distinction is whether the study is analytic or non-analytic. A non-analytic or descriptive study does not try to quantify the relationship but tries to give us a picture of what is happening in a population, e.g., the prevalence, incidence, or experience of a group. Descriptive studies include case reports, case-series, qualitative studies and surveys (cross-sectional) studies, which measure the frequency of several factors, and hence the size of the problem. They may sometimes also include analytic work (comparing factors “” see below)…

Architectural Firms

Every year, we approach the ARCHITECT 50 with the same premise. It may be impossible to capture every way in which a firm can excel, have a significant impact on its community, mentor a younger generation of designers, and help save the planet with its energy-efficient buildings. But we nevertheless strive to compile a list that recognizes firms small and large, who are making their mark beyond just their ability to run a financially lucrative business. This year, we added a few new data points, capturing information on how firms are helping their…

Park Hill Flats

A bridge too far: Jason, next to the neon version of his original message. Photograph: Murdo Macleod for the Observer One spring day in 2001 a tall man walked into Sheffield’s Park Hill flats and along a street in the sky. He strode past the brutalist flanks, out on to the footbridge. He thought: this’ll do. Jason didn’t look down; he gets vertigo and he was 13 storeys up. He leaned over in his yellow Puffa jacket and sprayed her name. “Clare” came out haphazardly and “Middleton” hit the ledge. He planned to take her to the Roxy on the facing hill…

London style House

London plays home to an incredible and eclectic range of architectural styles, formed as the city grew up – its diverse social and cultural evolution reflected in the architectural patterns and designs you can see today. London developed over the years in a much more ad hoc style than many other major cities, both in the UK and the World, creating a sort of mishmash of building styles, materials and shapes.
