Jointly commissioned by CABE and English Partnerships with the RIBA, the report draws attention to the significant implications of inadequate space in private homes, raising the question of whether many new homes are actually fit for purpose. more RIBA Calls for National Minimum Space Standards in All New-build Housing design directory RIBA > Architecture Organizations added by Levent OZLER |

 David Chipperfield: Form MattersOne of the most important architects working today, David Chipperfield produces subtle and sophisticated buildings with an acute sensitivity for materials and a powerful awareness of their environment.This major exhibition celebrates his work for the first time in the UK and spans his entire career to date, including such acclaimed projects as the River and Rowing Museum in Henley-on-Thames, and the Museum of Modern Literature in Marbach, Germany, winner of the RIBA Stirling Prize for Architecture 2007. The exhibition also illustrates important public commissions including the reconstruction of the Neues Museum in Berlin, and The Hepworth Wakefield gallery. This detailed survey examines a range of projects through new and archive models, sketches, drawings, photographs and film. A major component of the exhibition focuses on Chipperfield's most complex project to date, the ten year reconstruction of the Neues Museum in Berlin, which was bombed during the Second World War and subjected to decades of neglect. The project is like nothing previously undertaken in its attitude to history, and its attempt to make something new out of the old has succeeded in producing a landmark building, not only for Berlin but for museum architecture as a whole. event (ended) current design events more David Chipperfield: Form Matters design directory The Design Museum > Design Museums added by Levent OZLER |
