 September Results of the RIBA Future Trends SurveyThe Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) announced the September results of its monthly Future Trends Survey, which was established in January 2009 to monitor business and employment trends affecting the architecture profession.The trends emanating from this months survey present modest improvements to the August results, both in terms of workload prediction and staffing. More practices predicted an increase in workload, (33 per cent in September, compared to 22 per cent in August), representing some optimism, although this indicator has been quite volatile over the last quarter and does not represent a sustained trend of confidence growth. There were also very minimal changes in the number of practices predicting a decline in workload (16 per cent in September compared to 15 per cent in August) and levels of underemployment (29 per cent of practices stated they were underemployed in September, and 30 per cent in August). Both private housing and commercial work sectors presented improvements with predicted increases in workloads; 32 per cent of practices expected private housing work to increase (growing from 25 per cent in August), and 17 per cent predicted more commercial work, compared to 12 per cent in August. In September, only 16 per cent of practices expected more public sector work, which was a drop of 5 per cent from the August figures. more September Results of the RIBA Future Trends Survey design directory RIBA > Architecture Organizations added by Levent OZLER |
 CalArts Completes Construction of Innovative New Music PavilionCalifornia Institute of the Arts (CalArts) President Steven D. Lavine announced the completion of The Wild Beast -- a shape-shifting, multi-use music pavilion on CalArts' campus designed by the Los Angeles-based architectural firm Hodgetts+Fung.A rolling wall allows the 3,200 square-foot structure to transform from an acoustically refined recital hall accommodating 140 to an outdoor performance space for audiences of up to 1,000. The Wild Beast will begin housing recitals, rehearsals and classes for the Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts in fall 2009. It will open to the public with a special performance event in spring 2010. "Our school of music investigates musical forms in all of their diversity, positioning our students on the leading edge of musical innovation and experimentation. This new music pavilion will offer a host of new possibilities from guest artist master classes and performances to student recitals and festivals across a wide range of music literatures," said President Lavine. more CalArts Completes Construction of Innovative New Music Pavilion design directory CalArts - School of Film/Video > Animation Education added by Levent OZLER |
