RIBA’s House of the Year 2024 shortlist highlights exceptional UK residential architecture, including Farmworker's House, The Hall, and Six Columns, three projects Price & Myers has contributed to. The Hall, with TaylorHare Architects, is a serene rural retreat crafted with natural materials, blending harmoniously into its landscape. Farmworker's House, with HUGH STRANGE ARCHITECTS LIMITED, is a practical yet elegant single-story home designed for a farm manager, and Six Columns, with 31/44 Architects, is a thoughtfully designed family home that aligns with its neighborhood setting. See the full list on the RIBA website for more. https://ow.ly/7FmI50TXpnM 📷: Farmworker's House / Jason Orton

Structural engineering and computational design should be integrated roles, not separate or conflicting ones. Digital transformation in AEC—and especially in structural engineering—needs practical applications, not just idealistic concepts. Effective design depends on collaboration. Instead of endless data processing, we need unhindered creativity, seamless collaboration, and easy-to-adopt solutions, especially as AEC projects face tighter schedules and resources. Design shouldn’t mean stress, and data exchange shouldn’t be a hurdle; streamlined processes free up time and enable better and more sustainable designs. From programming, I learned the value of version control and tool usability. In AEC, we prioritise design delivery over workflow development, and that focus doesn't need to shift either. We need tools that don't require us to think about workflows that hard, like Speckle. Join me at SpeckleCon in London, on November 13th, to discuss how a shift in work culture in AEC can be the greatest enabler in digital transformation, and how Speckle helps us in that journey and democratises digital tools for all disciplines.

I just spent a few days in Trinidad as a guest of the IStructE’s Caribbean group for their Past 30 | Future 30 conference. They are a thriving community who practice across the Caribbean and beyond. Topics ranged from hurricane resistant design of wind turbines from former Price & Myers colleague Omar Allahar, earthquake design from regional and international experts, bamboo and rock and roll engineering from Neil Thomas MBE, making sustainable and positive social outcomes present in our engineering work from Mike Haigh and a talk from me on how the engineering of art can inform the art of engineering - the challenge of the climate is as creative as it is political and technical. We had two intense days together in an intense and thriving place. Exploring Port of Spain and managing to fit in a swim at a local beach with Neil and Jo. Overall, some really enjoyable times in the company of the structural engineers of the Caribbean. The climate crisis was, as ever present in the room and visible in those powerful and increasing design wind speeds, never mind all the other consequences. What’s mine to do? We must always teach, and go out of our way to meet people who engineer with a different set of problems and constraints on their plate. My talk worked towards an idea that engineering artwork sets you up beautifully for regenerative design, and there are so many opportunities in tropical regions to do that, it would be nice to go back and see what’s possible. Thanks to everyone involved for an fun and fascinating get together. Shalini Jagnarine-Azan Tasha T.

A great project that my colleagues and I at Price & Myers are proud to have worked on!

The headline is... "Camden small sites programme selects its first architects" At Archio Ltd we are so excited to share the news that earlier this year we won the opportunity to design infill housing on two sites in Camden: the Castle Road Estate and Bernard Shaw Foster Court Estate. These are amongst the first sites in Camden Council's first wave of its small sites housebuilding programme. Camden Council initially launched the first stage of the programme with its Community 'Call for Ideas’, where they worked with the borough's community to allocate small sites for affordable housing. Both sites aim to provide much-needed new social and affordable rent homes for local residents. We've already met with residents and are looking forward to continue to work closely with them and the surrounding communities to refine emerging proposals, ensuring new homes are accompanied by wider improvements to each estate.

Take a look around one of the most historically significant Victorian buildings in the country. Rochdale Town Hall is a Grade I-listed masterpiece. Transformative phase two works, enabled by the The National Lottery Heritage Fund, were completed earlier this year, providing access to previously unseen spaces, restoration and repair of historic fabric, and new opportunities for the local community. What was once a car park has transformed into a vibrant, and accessible civic space, which celebrates Rochdale’s rich history. “Rochdale Town Hall is a work of art. Re-energising this building has been a labour of love” shared associate director Rebecca Mills “Being from Rochdale myself I’m proud of how the local community was able to make their mark on this building…” Read more about Rochdale Town Hall in the Architects’ Journal: https://lnkd.in/eqQZepx5 Rochdale Borough Council | Rochdale Development Agency | Gillespies | H.H Smith & Sons | Frank Whittle Partnership | Max Fordham LLP | Price & Myers | Buro Happold | Redman Design | Hirst Conservation Ltd | Lancashire Conservation Trust | The York Glaziers Trust | James Newton
