LAST CHANCE TO SEE!!

Closing 30th August 2010.
The excellent 1:1 and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
the 7 structures + exhibition of all 19 proposals.
Well worth seeing....and a £5 catalogue!
All can be entered and experienced.
I particularly enjoyed The Beetle House by Terunobu Fujimori (Japan), the In-Between Architecture, by Studio Mumbai Architects (India) and the Ark by Rintala Eggertsson Architects (Norway).

CODA Music Project: Week 8

CODA

TEKNE Suppliers of plywood

The main structure is complete with new ceiling layers affixed. Next is to complete the closure for the entrance... We have initial testing with musos (we can fit four seated inside, depending on instruments). The acoustics so far are well controlled, nicely damped and the music sounds great at this early stage. More testing and experiences to follow. Coda chief Phil Hallet stands next to the music practice room - and the intelligent creatives (i.e. the architecture students) who built the structure stand in front of their creation.
