Exemplars of buildings where culture is at the core and artists have been involved as part of the early design process

Video of the 'Exemplars of buildings where culture is at the core and artists have been involved as part of the early design process' presentation by Peter Buchan, Senior Partner, Ryder Architecture, delivered at the Art in Architecture event.
This presentation focuses on:
Examining how buildings respond to context, location and regional culture in the North East of England
Examining when the Newcastle City Library artists entered into the design process, how that worked and influenced related buildings and subsequent Ryder projects
What can this region learn from what is happening in cultural buildings in the rest of the world?
Siderise: Helping to bridge the gap between Gateway 2 approval and on-site fire protection
While the new building safety regime hasn’t fundamentally changed what requirements higher-risk buildings (HRBs) must meet to comply with the Building Regulations, it has significantly increased the breadth, depth and volume of evidence that must be supplied to demonstrate this. As a result, project teams have had to adapt the way they work and even look beyond their roles to understand how their actions may impact the next Dutyholder in the chain. For specifiers, this can include considering what supporting services are offered with life safety-critical elements to enable correct design, installation and maintenance. Early engagement with manufacturer technical specialists can help identify any practical challenges that may arise onsite. Then, during construction, these services can help support the translation of design intent into reality so that buildings are safe for occupation.

RIBA CPD for Architects: Understanding Flooring Specification and Detailing
For architects and specifiers, flooring details can have a significant impact on the safety, accessibility, durability and overall performance of a building. Yet the technical considerations surrounding stairways, floor transitions, and floor finishes are not always straightforward.

Designing sustainability into construction – proof over promises in sustainable construction
With tightening regulations and growing client demand, the construction industry is under increasing pressure to demonstrate measurable progress against carbon reduction targets. For specifiers, that means ensuring every product installed stands up to scrutiny, not just in material, but in source, traceability, and lifetime carbon footprint. JELD-WEN, a specialist timber door, door kit and doorset manufacturer, explains the critical considerations when selecting sustainable materials.
