University of Westminster redevelopment is underway. The first phase includes work to the existing library, which is almost complete in time for the new college year. Hawkins\Brown were appointed by the University of Westminster to masterplan and design the redevelopment of the University’s Harrow Campus.
I am commissioned by the University to document the change throughout the project, which is at present scheduled to take two years. I will be updating the progress on this blog from time to time, in particular when significant milestones are met. If you have similar projects and are interested in the documentation of them, please get in touch – my email is siobhan@siobhandoran.com
I am just back from EBS offices in Verona, Italy. My book Savoy | The Restoration was being printed. It was a fascinating week understanding the process involved in Book Publishing. A printing day is made up of 3 shifts - for the Authors and Publishers this equates to long days so that you are on hand to approve each stage and page! At EBS the quality is superb and the expectation from all involved is perfection, or as near as this technology can allow.The results are beautiful crafted art books.
As I left late on Wednesday night there were pallets of my pages awaiting pick up for the binders... all very exciting and educational. I captured the photograph above as Dewi Lewis approved the final sheet. The book Savoy | The Restoration will be published by Dewi Lewis Publishing in November and details of its availability will follow. For any queries or pre-orders please get in touch http://www.dewilewispublishing.com/GENERAL/FORTHCOMING.html
A selection of my photographs from my two forest series - One Year in Ashridge and In The Forest - are on show at Crest Living at 242 Brompton Road. Why not drop in for a Tea and Cupcake on Tuesday 20th September and enjoy the surrounding of chic modern furniture too! A number of the photographs are framed in non-reflective glass, although a more exspensive way to frame both Art and Photography, the clarity and visual impact is worth it. http://www.crestliving.co.uk/
