AJ 23.04.26: Small Projects
AJ Small Projects is back! Inside this issue you’ll find 20 compelling schemes built on modest budgets. This year there is a notable focus on community schemes: an ‘outdoor living room’ in a social housing development, a local radio pod, a youth support hub, a revitalised market street and much more.
We also present two building studies: O’Donnell + Tuomey’s V&A East Museum and Haworth Tompkins’ reworking of Theatr Clywd in North Wales. These schemes are united by deep community engagement and a recognition of what good design can mean to people; places built for better connection.
Our exclusive news feature exposes the ‘serious concerns’ raised over ACME’s appointment to the revamp of Liverpool Street Station in London. You can also read about a proposed garden city-style development in Essex, a landscape-led project which could provide a blueprint for the next wave of new towns.
Within the Culture section we review an exhibition at the Sir John Soane’s Museum marking 300 years since the death of Sir John Vanbrugh, then head to the Barbican to take in a retrospective of the work of Beatriz González.
Opinion pieces this month come from the Secret Architect, who is busy wrangling a high-profile competition entry, and from Kunle Barker, reflecting on stalled projects and global instability.
Finally there is a round-up of the latest architectural competitions, sketches from Neil Turner, Hellman on timber high-rise restrictions and David Grandorge’s small project pick.
