Seth Rutt and Harbinder Singh Birdi run a team of 10 architects in their capacity as associates at Hawkins\Brown. They are currently working together on the transformation of the Grade II*-listed Park Hill flats in Sheffield, in association with Urban Splash. The Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, and the New Art Exchange in Nottingham represent the latest in a series of arts buildings developed in association with practice director David Bickle, where various themes of a crafted architecture are beginning to emerge.
New Art Exchange, Nottingham
Harbinder Singh Birdi and Seth Rutt are working on designs for the New Art Exchange in Nottingham, the first UK arts centre devoted to promoting art by ethnic and minority groups. The building accommodates a gallery, studio and rehearsal spaces for both visual and performing arts. The architects will work directly with the Art Exchange’s resident artists on aspects of the design. The £3.7 million building, funded primarily by the Arts Council, is due to be completed in 2007.
