Invisible menders
23-May-2002
In its conservation of Newhailes near Edinburgh for the National Trust of Scotland, LDN Architects has minimised disruption to the building fabric in a quest to preserve the distinctive 'mellowness' of the house and reflect all stages of its history From the moment you enter the grounds of Newhailes, it is apparent that this is a land that time forgot. Precisely when it was forgotten - just when the key to the secret garden that engulfs it was thrown away - is hard to determine. This ... -

Refuting suburban myths Changing Suburbs: Foundation, Form, and Function Edited by Richard Harris and Peter J Larkham. E. & FN Spon, 1999. 280pp. £47.50
14-Oct-1999
Coming hard on the heels of the recent English Heritage book on the London suburbs (aj 9.2.99), this new volume of 12 scholarly essays usefully extends the consideration beyond the metropolitan fringe to the provinces and 'three ex-British, white settler, colonies' - Canada, the United States and 'the first true suburban nation', Australia. -
With Manchester City Art Gallery closed until 2001
7-Oct-1999
With Manchester City Art Gallery closed until 2001 while Michael Hopkins' extension is being built, some welcome attention is being given to the city's long-neglected collection of historic houses, writes Julian Holder. These include James Wyatt's Heaton Hall and sixteenth-century Wythenshawe Hall. The latter, set amid one of the largest council estates in Europe, is trying to win a new public with an exhibition entitled 'Estate'. -

Beyond Zone One London Suburbs By Andrew Saint et al. Merrell Holberton, 1999. 240pp. £25
9-Sep-1999
To Osbert Lancaster suburbia was a place 'with a hundred and fifty accurate, reproductions of Anne Hathaway's cottage'. This is the popular image of suburbia, reinforced by the cover illustration of this new book with its typical 1930s half-timbered house. But it is soon undercut by a picture of Wharton Street, Finsbury, in the 1820s, and all but destroyed by one of Roehampton's slab blocks in the 1950s. What is this place of such complexity and contradiction? -
Thirties landmark church wins lottery funding
24-Jun-1999
One of the better known landmarks of 1930s architecture, the Grade II- listed St Nicholas Church, Burnage, Manchester (1932) has been awarded a grant of £1.1 million by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Described by Pevsner as a 'milestone in the history of modern church architecture' the German Expressionist-inspired church has been a cause for concern for many years. -

IN THE NEWS: THOM MAYNE
25-Mar-1999
Thom Mayne of the Los Angeles practice Morphosis visited Manchester last week and fell prey to the charms of Vincent Harris's 1938 Town Hall extension. 'Very regal,' he declared to the capacity audience of the Manchester Society of Architects, whom he then proceeded to charm with a typically laid-back performance. -
mud At cube, 113-115 Portland Street, Manchester, until 23 March
4-Mar-1999
With the celebrations barely over following the go-ahead for Libeskind's Imperial War Museum of the North, Manchester's new cube gallery - Centre for the Understanding of the Built Environment - has a timely exhibition on the re-use of brownfield sites, writes Julian Holder. Taking 12 projects as diverse as the Dome, Hopkins' Wildscreen at Bristol, Wilford's Lowry Centre in Salford, and Rotterdam's Kop van Zuid, the common thread is mixed-use urban development - hence the title, mud. -

Being of the generation which graduated from the aa just as the oil crisis hit meant that Peter Wilson stayed on teaching for 10 years, 'fundamental in creating our ideas', he told an eager audience overflowing from the gunnels of Manchester Town Hall last week. -

Nature has always been one of the great sources of architecture - and it's one resource Canada has in abundance. Vancouver-based husband-and-wife team John and Pat Patkau has made a virtue of this superabundance in its work, as John explained to a capacity audience at the Manchester Society of Architects Master Series lecture last week. -
