Architects are a British metalcore band from Brighton, England. The band currently consists of vocalist Sam Carter, drummer Dan Searle, bassist Alex Dean and guitarist Adam Christianson. The band's first name was Inharmonic, which was swiftly changed to Counting the Days, and finally to Architects after a couple of years. They have released seven studio albums and one split EP with Dead Swans to date.

They released their debut album Nightmares in 2006 through In at the Deep End records. After the departure of their original vocalist, Matt Johnson, Sam Carter joined the band and made his first appearance on Architects' second album Ruin released in 2007 through United by Fate records. In 2009 the band released Hollow Crown through Century Media records. They then released their fourth album The Here And Now in 2011, which showed the band taking a step in a more melodic "clean-cut post-hardcore" direction.[1] Upon its release the album was well received by critics, but was panned by their fanbase.[2] The next year Architects returned to their original style with their fifth album Daybreaker, which featured more politicised lyrics[3] as opposed to the violent and comedic lyrics prominent throughout their older work.[4] Their sixth album Lost Forever // Lost Together was released in 2014 through Epitaph Records. Their seventh album All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us was released on 27 May 2016, also through Epitaph.

All members of the band are vegan,[5] having turned to veganism after watching several documentaries on the subject.[6][note 1] The band is also a promoter of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, with Carter being one of its British ambassadors.[8] On 20 August 2016, lead guitarist, primary songwriter, keyboardist and founding member Tom Searle died after a three-year battle with skin cancer.[9] The song "C.A.N.C.E.R" on Lost Forever // Lost Together focuses on his dealing with the cancer.[10]

However, the band went on to continue the upcoming tour in Tom's honor, and went on to play in Australia with the popular British metalcore band, Bring Me The Horizon. The future of the band is currently unknown, following Tom's passing.

All of the original members of Architects grew up around Brighton, East Sussex and were very active within the local music scene prior to forming the band. Sam Carter, who was a drummer and studied drums at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music before joining the band, had performed in multiple local bands as a drummer and sometimes a singer; one of these bands had supported Enter Shikari in Brighton.[6]

Architects was founded in 2004 by drummer Dan Searle and his twin brother,[4] guitarist Tom Searle, The project was called "Counting the Days" until it blossomed into what is now known as "Architects" with original vocalist Matt Johnson, guitarist Tim Hillier-Brook and Tim Lucas on bass guitar. In 2006 the band's original bassist, Tim Lucas, decided to leave the band to pursue his academic career. He was replaced by Alex Dean. The band had travelled around the UK on many tours supporting a number of different bands (Beecher, Bring Me the Horizon) in support of their debut album Nightmares. Because of the age of the band members in the early years they had to book weeks of holiday off at college to do tours round the country.[12]

Just six months after the release of Nightmares, Architects original vocalist Matt Johnson left the band. Dan Searle said that after Johnson left the band they all saw Sam Carter performing with other local bands and decided it was an "easy choice".[13] Ali Dean approached Carter while he was at work and had a few band practices.[6] When Carter joined as Architects' new lead vocalist he made his on-stage debut by performing the song "The Darkest Tomb". After this amicable departure, Matt Johnson went on to form the band Whitemare with ex-members of Johnny Truant and Centurion, and also briefly Architects guitarist Tim Hillier-Brook on bass.[14] They released their second album Ruin on 25 June 2007.[15] Despite releasing their dbut album Nightmares the previous year the band felt they have developed as songwriters a lot and wished to release something quicker.[15] Carter felt pressure when writing the lyrics for Ruin as he had a six-week period between joining 'Architects' and going into the studio to record.[16] Dan Searle had commented that Carter drew from more personal experience in his lyrics than their previous singer Johnson.[15] They supported Suicide Silence in 2007 on The Cleansing The Nation Tour in the United States.[8]

In early 2008, they released a Split EP with UK band Dead Swans. The split EP featured two songs from each artist. Architects' contributed: We're All Alone and Broken Clocks. While Dead Swans contributed: In the Half Light and Swallow. The song We're All Alone was later worked into Hollow Crown. The band said that they wanted to do release the album in the effort to show people they are still progressing their style.[13] The split EP was well received by British music press with review scores of 7/10 from Metal Hammer,[17] 8/10 from Rock Sound,[18] A 7.5 was given by Terrorizer for Architects' side of the ep[19] and four "K"s out of 5 from Kerrang!.[20] The release was followed by a double headed tour of the UK.

In May 2008, Architects announced that they had been signed to Century Media Records for a three album deal. Architects became the first British band that Century Media had signed since Napalm Death.[21] Dean stated that the signing was important for the band "to be part of such an established label and it's absolutely sweet that our records are gonna [sic] be out worldwide."[22] Dan Searle described Century Media's support matching "our ambition to push this band as far as we can." The announcement of their signing to Century Media was coupled with the re-release of their second album Ruin globally with the added bonus track Broken Clocks.[23] In November 2008 the band embarked on the Never Say Die! Tour, a European tour with Parkway Drive as the headline act and also support from Unearth, Despised Icon, Protest the Hero, Whitechapel and Carnifex.[24]

On 26 January 2009 Architects made their Century Record dbut with their third studio album Hollow Crown. It was released in the United Kingdom and Australia on 26 January 2009, 10 February in the United States and Canada, 20 February in Continental Europe and 21 February in Japan. The band recorded the album in July 2008 after the announcement of joining Century Media's roster.[23] Dan Searle in interview was asked why the band gave it the title and he stated "depending on who you ask in the band! To me it refers to those people you meet in life that earn nothing, but are given everything."[13] For the initial promotion of the album the band completed a 19 date headline tour of the United Kingdom with support from Misery Signals and A Textbook Tragedy.[25] in early 2009 the band supported Parkway Drive along with August Burns Red on the Parkway Drive: The DVD tour in Australia. In October and November 2009 they headlined the second Never Say Die! Tour United Kingdom dates, whereas Despised Icon headlined the Mainland European dates. The line also included Horse the Band, As Blood Runs Black, Iwrestledabearonce, Oceano and The Ghost Inside.[26] In January 2009 Tom Searle had believed the band had toured across North America and Europe in 17 separate tours.[12]

Architects announced that the first single from the upcoming fourth album, would be entitled Day in Day Out, and was premired on Daniel P. Carter's BBC Radio 1 podcast The Rock Show on 30 August 2010.[27] The band headlined tours of the UK in October 2010 with Norma Jean, Devil Sold His Soul and Lower Than Atlantis supporting and Australia in December with Comeback Kid as co-headliners and This is Hell and Rolo Tomassi supporting.

On 19 January 2011, Architects' fourth album The Here and Now was released. The album was recorded across 2010 from May till June at The Omen Room Studios in California and featured guest vocals from Andrew Neufeld of Comeback Kid and Greg Puciato of The Dillinger Escape Plan.[28] The album was seen as going in a more commercial direction from the rest of the band's work.[29] The album sold 900 copies in the United States in its first week and debuted at number 47 on the US Top Heatseekers album charts and number 57 on the UK Album Charts.[30] Upon its release the album was well received by critics. Drummer Dan Searle when describing the sound on the album in an interview believe it was a massive departure but also a logical progression for the band, saying: "I completely understand that we are known for being a technical band but its just not what we want to write any more, I think if you look at the way we have evolved over the last few records you could see it coming. We started writing technical music when we were 16 and have spent the years since slowly moving away from it, it feels like different people wrote those songs."[31] When looking back at the album in hindsight the band has always seen the period the record was released in as one of difficulty and lack of confidence in themselves.[6]

In February 2011, Architects announced the departure of bassist Alex Dean, due to family commitments. On 3 July 2011 it was announced that Dean had rejoined the band. When Dean commented on the short 5-month split from the band he said "I'm very happy to be able to say that I'm back, being able to stay at home for the past few months have given my family and I the opportunity to adjust to what happened last year and I know it's done us all a lot of good."[34] During this period where Dean was not a part of the band Casey Lagos filled in as a bass guitarist on some of the tours.[35]

In April 2011, Bring Me the Horizon as part of their ongoing support for their third album on their international There Is a Hell... Tour Architects was a main support alongside Parkway Drive and supported them in two continents. It started with a European tour, starting in the United Kingdom with The Devil Wears Prada as the opening support for the UK and dubstep group Tek-one opening for the remainder of continental Europe. On 28 April Matt Nicholls broke his arm whilst playing football with members of Bring Me the Horizon, Parkway Drive and Architects, and instead of cancelling the tour Architects' drummer Dan Searle filled in as the drummer, this meant that Bring Me the Horizon's setlist was halved in length.[36] This European Tour Lasted till late August. Then Architects, Parkway Drive and Deez Nuts supported Bring Me the Horizon in North America across September and October.[37]

On 4 December 2011, Architects released a new single entitled Devil's Island. The song was for an at the time unnamed follow up album to The Here and Now. The single was announced in early November, a month before its actual release. As an iTunes bonus b-side song "Untitled" was added into the single download. In addition to its announcement it was streamed on the band's Facebook page.[38] Both the song and the music video that accompanied the release talk about and deal with the 2011 England riots, with the music video featuring clips of the riots.[32][39] The single itself was well received by critics for its return to the mathcore style of their third album, Hollow Crown.[32] J.J. Nattrass of Bring the noise UK said that "the Track is sweeping and melodic in parts, whilst bursting with high tempo and visceral raw energy in others."[33] In December 2011 the band embarked on a five-day UK headline tour with supporting acts Heights, Tek-One and Deaf Havana as part of supporting the single.[38]

Architects' fifth studio album Daybreaker was released on 28 May 2012 in Europe and 5 June 2012 in the USA.[30] On 16 April 2012, after the album was fully recorded, it was announced that Tim Hillier-Brook would be leaving the band to pursue other projects. Josh Middleton, the frontman of British metal band Sylosis became a touring guitarist until the band decided on a new fifth member.[40]Daybreaker received a mixed reception from critics. Negative critics stated the album's songs were "catchy and occasionally compelling" but "identical and formulaic".[2] The band promoted the Daybreaker album though a collection of 75 shows in 25 countries (over 4 continents, including: Southeast Asia, Australia, North America and Europe ), called The Daybreaker Almost World Tour[41][42][43]

In 2013, the band promoted Daybreaker further, primarily in the United States, first supporting Enter Shikari in the US in March with Crossfaith[44] and then as part of the American Warped Tour 2013 in June.[45] They also played the main stage at Download Festival 2013 at Donington Park, Leicestershire, United Kingdom.[46] Before their large touring schedule in the United States the band wasn't confident in performing as they were "tired of losing money" with their tours in the country and that "[the band] were about ready to give up on America".[47]Architects announced that they were recording their sixth full-length album in September.[47] The band announced they were doing a third tour of the United States in 2013 in November and December with co-headliners Protest The Hero and support from The Kindred and Affiance,[48] as well as plans to go to Australia before 2013 had finished.[47]Architects final performance in support of Daybreaker is their first performance in India at the Saarang culture festival on 11 January 2014 with Romanian rock band Grimus.[49][50][note 2]

In mid-April 2013, Architects released a trailer of a their own documentary "One Hundred Days: The Story Of Architects Almost World Tour". Directed by Tom Welsh, the documentary is a story about Architects' Almost World Tour.[43][52] The funding for the film was done as a community funded project on indiegogo.[43] The band decided to release the film since they had left Century Media.[52] After the target amount had been reached for the film Architects posted a song clip of a new song "Black Blood" online for people to listen.[53] The band's split from Century Media was after their contract expired and due to "a daily occurrence" of falling out.[21] They then joined Epitaph records roster for both an opportunity to break the American market and because of an admiration for bands on their roster like Every Time I Die and Converge.[21]

Their sixth studio album, Lost Forever // Lost Together, was released on 11 March 2014, produced by Henrik Udd and recorded at the Gothenburg based studio Studio Fredman.[54] Two singles were released to promote the record "Naysayer",[55] "Broken Cross"; and a music video for "Gravedigger". In the support of the record's release Architects toured Europe in March and April with Stray from the Path and Northlane as main supports.[56] They then completed a co-headline tour of the United States with letlive. in April and May;[8][57] and then have lined up a supporting tour of The Amity Affliction in Australia,[58] including two headline shows of their own in the country,[59] and a Canadian tour in August and September.[60]

On 18 February 2015, it was announced by Sam Carter that touring member Adam Christianson had become a full-time member of Architects.[citation needed]

On 12 June 2015, Tom Searle announced that the band started demoing new songs and he was excited for the release of a seventh album. On 6 March 2016, Epitaph Records released a new Architects song, "A Match Made in Heaven". It is the first single from All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us, which is set to be released on 27 May.[citation needed] On 11 April, Architects released a second single, "Gone with the Wind". On March 23, Architects announced a release show in Brighton for May 27, supported by Counting Days. Due to unexpectedly high demand, the ticket website accidentally oversold tickets, prompting the band to add a second date on May 28. Architects premiered a third song, "Downfall", on May 20. On the same day, they announced a headline tour in the United Kingdom for November 2016. Architects are also set to play a number of shows in mainland Europe and in North America during the summer.

On 20 August 2016, founding guitarist and songwriter Tom Searle died at the age of 28, after living for three years with melanoma skin cancer. His twin brother and band mate, Dan, confirmed in a statement on the band's official Facebook page that their upcoming Australian tour, as well as their UK and Europe headline tour, would still be taking place as a tribute to his late brother following his passing. On the future of the band, Dan Searle wrote that "We want to carry on, that is important to say, and we will strive to do so, but we will not release any music unless we truly believe that it is something that Tom would have been proud of. Whether or not we can achieve that is something that we will have to discover in time".[61][62]

Architects have been referred to as being "pumped with both controlled rage and unhindered heart, accessible and ambitious, aggressive and beautiful".[12] Considered alongside Enter Shikari as offering metalcore style to more mainstream audiences[63] they have been described variously as metalcore,[4][64][65][66]mathcore,[4][67][68]post-hardcore,[1] post-metalcore[2] and technical metal.[69][70][71][72] Their music is characterised by choppy, complex guitar riffs,[71] the use of obscure time signatures and rhythmic breakdowns,[69] and for their guitarists alternating between a "down-tuned rumble" and "melodic punk" during songs.[73] However the band's music isn't solely been based upon technical proficiency and does use catchy riffs and choruses.[63]

Architects have made various stylistic transitions and evolutions throughout their career,[72] with the band citing their belief that each album should be distinct.[28] On their second album Ruin, the band's sound was heavier and darker sound than on Nightmares.[15]Hollow Crown maintains the aggression and technical proficiency of Ruin while incorporating more melody, catchy riffs and use of singing.[16][68][70] The band also used synthesised instruments such as keyboards and drum machines.[16] The guitars were tuned to Drop B with the lowest string at Ab, giving the "ability to create a really heavy low end sound on the bottom but still give a comfortable degree of tension on the higher strings."[72] A prime example of their signature style is the song 'We're All Alone', with its technical, progressive guitar riffs and heavy, hardcore punk-influenced rhythmic breakdowns.[68][70]

Their fourth album 'The Here and Now' represented a stylistic shift from their previous work considered "ultimately subjective" and "their most diverse".[67] Described as going in a "clean-cut post-hardcore" direction,[1]The Here and Now favours singing over screaming, anthemic choruses and hooks.[67] The album still retains elements of their previous albums, however, including "tortured howls, frenzied riffs, and earth-shattering rhythms, albeit with a slightly more mainstream edge."[74] The album includes the melancholy, glitchy electronica-based 'An Open Letter To Myself' and the rock ballad 'Heartburn'[67][74] both lead into "rousing, fist-pumping choruses". [65] The band's fifth album Daybreaker featured something of a return to the heavier, more aggressive style of their previous albums, balancing this with the melody and hooks of The Here and Now.[1]Daybreaker also features even more melodic, atmospheric tracks than usual, such as 'Truth Be Told, 'Behind The Throne' and 'Unbeliever'.[2][3]

After the release of Daybreaker the band grew confident in playing much heavier music again, and cited that the key influence on the heavier style of their sixth album was to create the best songs for live shows.[75][76] The album also incorporates blastbeats, which have not been used in any of the band's recordings since Hollow Crown.[77]

Vocally Carter is seen as having a coarse and "tortured"[64][78]screaming style and implements melodic singing to counter this.[69] Since Carter's addition to the band's lineup the band always aimed to use more of his singing as their style developed, regardless of reaction from fans.[13] During the writing of The Here and Now in California, Carter got vocal coaching to help develop his singing voice.[28] During these lessons Carter learned a lot about techniques, warm-ups and singing to scales.[28] Carter's harsh vocals have also been compared to British metalcore contemporary Oliver Sykes of Bring Me the Horizon and his "raspy-yelling" vocals.[79]

When Sam Carter joined the band to replace Matt Johnson, drummer Dan Searle had commented that the lyrics Carter wrote drew from more personal experience than those of his predecessor.[15] The lyrics of Hollow Crown focus on a number of themes, with some songs dealing with everyday life like sitting in a car with friends or angst against girls,[80] while some other songs, particularly "Early Grave", "Follow the Water" and "In Elegance", were written about Carter's growing dependence on cannabis and him "struggling against his own instincts and self-destructive obsessions".[16][25] Two songs featured on Hollow Crown "Dead March" and "Left with the Last Minute" feature "call and response-type" lyrics about a stalker and their victim's response to being stalked, respectively.[16][25] For the lyrics of Daybreaker, Carter and Tom Searle collaborated on writing, focusing on what they believed to be "bigger picture" themes,[76] such as the critique of negative aspects of religion and society.[3] Carter and Searle collaborated again on the lyrics of Lost Forever // Lost Together, and in an attempt not to sound like a "broken record", they no longer only addressed political issues, but also focused on themes that everyone can relate to.[76]

Architects' primary musical influences have been described as ranging through artists from the realms of hardcore punk and heavy metal music such as Botch, Converge, Decapitated, Deftones, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Gojira, Hatebreed, Meshuggah, Shadows Fall, Slipknot and Thrice,[4][73] and Alex Henderson of AllMusic considers the band to be influenced by noise rock[64] and math rock.[78]Rock Sound Kevin Stewart-Panko writer sees the band as a "metal/hardcore outfit influenced by Meshuggah's low-end guitar lurch, the throat-shredding howl of Converge's Jake Bannon, The Dillinger Escape Plan's staccato one-two rhythms and breakdowns from the state of Massachusetts is its own mystery."[73] Alter the Press! writer Selina Christoforou considered the band drawing on "the template drawn out by genre-defining bands, such as The Dillinger Escape Plan, Botch, and Coalesce".[70]

When commenting on their influences singer Carter has said that "The Dillinger Escape Plan are such a massive influence on Architects. Back in the day, that's what we wanted to sound like when we were younger".[28] He in the same interview also stated that Thrice's Vheissu is one of his favourite albums.[28]

5 Best House Architects - Kissimmee FL | HomeAdvisor

It's difficult to know what to expect from these shows. This is such a unique set of circumstances. Perhaps other bands would have cancelled, and I wouldn't blame them. It's not comfortable. It's frightening. It's going to force us to face a lot of the difficult emotions that grief inevitably brings about. Being on stage without him, headlining venues that we always dreamt about playing together and performing songs that he wrote about his own mortality.....it's going to be a...n enormous challenge. What I do hope is that we all find some catharsis from performing. I don't expect closure, I don't know if I'll ever experience such a thing, but perhaps we can find some solace, comfort, peace or relief from getting on stage each night.

One thing is for sure - the atmosphere is going to be special. These shows are a celebration of Tom's life. Every night will be an opportunity for us all to express our love and gratitude for Tom and what he's given all of us. We will be playing with everything we have and we know that you guys will be giving everything you have too.

Australia, we must acknowledge you as well. We leave the UK on Saturday. It feels like a massive leap for us to be honest. We probably wouldn't be going if it wasn't with our brothers in Bring Me The Horizon. We are going into the unknown with these shows. As with the U.K. and European shows, we will give it our all. We've always loved your country and you guys embraced us from day one, we haven't forgotten that. If you are coming to a show, get down to the front and sing with us, your support means even more at times like this.

Thank you everyone for all of your continued love and understanding.

Much love,

Dan

NJ's Premiere Landscape Architects

Construction of the Carmen Wrth Forum has reached a key stage with the topping out of the event and chamber music hall. The project, located adjacent to the Wrth headquarters in Knzelsau, Southwest Germany, was designed by David Chipperfield Architects Berlin. The building is embedded in the landscape and will create a new plateau, with two retaining walls made of in-situ concrete framing an open courtyard in front of the main entrance. This space can be used for open-air concerts and other activities. The large indoor event hall is accessed from a naturally lit foyer. While the lower part of this hall is sunk, the upper part is glazed and rises above the terrain. A small chamber music hall is placed adjacent to the main hall and is only perceptible from the outside as an undulation of the landscape. Completion of the event and chamber music hall is due in July 2017. A conference centre and a museum for the Wrth art collection are to follow in a second construction stage.

David Chipperfield will give the keynote lecture at the 6th Baltic Sea Region Cultural Heritage Forum in Kiel today. The conference aims to raise awareness of post-war built cultural heritage and brings together experts from the heritage sector, architects, planners, researchers, politicians, property owners, developers and other related professions.

Under the title: Restorations and reconstructions: reflections on Berlin, the lecture will centre on work in Berlin and specifically the 11-year restoration of the Neues Museum and the ongoing refurbishment of Mies van der Rohes Neue Nationalgalerie. The former is a balancing act between repairing, conserving, restoring and recreating while the latter is closer to the meticulous restoration of ancient monuments. Reflecting on different approaches the lecture will argue that energetic public engagement is crucial to the ongoing debate about the development and protection of our cities.

Following a public talk given by David Chipperfield at the Haus der Kunst in Munich on Friday 16th September, this weekends Sddeutsche Zeitung featured an article on the practices vision for the renovation of the museum. In conversation with museum director Okwui Enwezor, David Chipperfield elaborated onissues surrounding the design and renovation of landmark buildings before presenting his draft concept for the Haus der Kunst. The article discusses plans to better integrate the building into the city fabric and to bring parts that have been closed off for years back into public use.

Two Valentino flagship stores in London and Rome are the subject of an extensive feature in this months Domus magazine. David Chipperfield Architects Milan has been working in close collaboration with Valentinos creative directors since 2008. The concept is centred on the idea of creating spaces of permanence and simplicity reminiscent of classical palazzi. The format replaces the usual superficial decoration and scenography often used for retail spaces with a timeless expression of architectural form in durable and solid materials. Both the London and Rome stores mark an important step in the store concepts evolution. The store on Bond Street occupies the entire building with a new faade which introduces Portland stone to the palette, while a core element housing the lifts and staircases is entirely made of oak. Returning to Valentinos original roots in Rome, new materials and local techniques have been added to the established vocabulary. Non-structural arches on the first floor have been finished with polished white plaster while on the ground floor double layers of brick combine both loadbearing and reinforcing arches.

A team from the University of Stuttgart led by Alexander Schwarz in collaboration with David Chipperfield Architects Berlin are one of three winners of the Piranesi Prix de Romes Imperial Forum competition. Organised by the Accademia Adrianea di Architettura e Archologia, the international ideas competition called for proposals that looked at the relationship between architecture and archaeology. The brief focussed on Romes central area, the Via dei Fori Imperiale which is situated between the Piazza Venezia and the Colosseum.

The design centres on the transformation of the 1930s urban axis and the historic excavation area into a central park. Inspired by the tradition of the romantic landscape garden, the different archaeological layers are modulated into a continuous topography. Six new buildings, including a museum, a new main entrance to the Forum Romanum, a restaurant, a caf and an underground antiquarium, are inserted into the landscape.

On Friday 16th September Haus der Kunst in Munich will host a conversation between David Chipperfield and museum director Okwui Enwezor. The talk forms part of a series of public conversations being hosted by Haus der Kunst on the state of the museum as a cultural and social conductor in todays global culture. The topic of the conversation will be 'Renovate/Innovate' and will look at issues surrounding the design and renovation of landmark buildings, the civic function of museums in the contemporary public sphere and the role of art institutions as spaces of creativity and production of cultural capital. In 2013 David Chipperfield Architects was commissioned to lead an extensive renovation of Haus der Kunst, and the series of talks marks the beginning of this process.

The topping out ceremony was celebrated this weekend for the new chapel and visitor centre of Inagawa Reien cemetery. Forty kilometres north of Osaka, the cemetery is situated on a steep mountainside of the Hokusetsu chain in the Hyogo prefecture. Thetwo buildingsare arranged around a new sheltered garden, serving as a threshold between the outer world and a quieter space for commemoration. Rough sandblasted red concrete volumes form an intimate complex that is in tune with the dominant slope of the site. Completion of the new building is due in 2017.

The German newspaper Tagesspiegel has published an article on the idea-finding process for a site in Berlins Tiergarten.

The investor F&B Group invited David Chipperfield Architects, Studio Libeskind, Herzog & DeMeuron, Sauerbruch Hutton and Hadi Teherani Architects to submit ideas for a new building.

The site is adjacent to Hansaviertel, a small district in central Berlin, which is characterised by the protected ensemble of buildings from the 1957 International Building Exhibition.

No decision has been reached yet.

A new edition of El Croquis was released this week, featuring work by David Chipperfield Architects between 2006-2014.

The bi-lingual 632-page issue is a consolidation of the two previous editions on the practice, covering projects from all four offices, with additional material and interviews by Juan Antonio Corts, Emilio Tun and Rafael Moneo.

We are pleased to announce a New Collaboration with Brioni starting with the Paris Flagship Store that opened in July 2016. Situated at 370 Rue Saint-Honor, the 590 sqm Flagship Store is the first to feature the New Concept developed by David Chipperfield Architects Milan as part of the new brand vision under the creative direction of Justin OShea. Depicting the contemporary essence of Rome where Brionis roots and tailoring tradition merge past and present, the design looks to combine ideas of luxury and simplicity, craftsmanship and industrialisation, tradition and a vision for the future.

Architectural elements are carefully articulated throughout the space, grey travertine - also known as lapis tiburtinus and a reference to ancient Rome - lines the floors and walls. A sense of grandeur is achieved by large marble columns that assume their tectonic value expressed by their differing colours. A wide stage-like staircase links the two store levels without disrupting spatial continuity. The semi-transparent metal mesh partitions and the slim floor-to-ceiling studs that are used for display form a delicate counterbalance to the gravitas of travertine and marble.

The successful first phase of the Ria de Arousa study was supported by numerous individuals and institutions who generously gave their time and ideas, these include the President of Xunta de Galicia, Alberto Nez Feijo; the mayors of Porto do Son, A Pobra do Caramial, Ribeira, Boiro and Rianxo; local fishermen and shipowners; entrepreneurs; the Architects Association of Galicia; professors from the departments of geography, architecture, economics and engineering at the universities of A Corua, Santiago de Compostela, ETH Zurich and ETSAB-UPC; the National Asssociation of Canneries; as well as the European Association of Archaeologists and the Spanish National Research Council CSIC.

The fifth and final week of the study of Ria de Arousa culminated in a weekend-long workshop with David Chipperfield, experts and local authorities. The team presented their conclusion, highlighting the areas dependence on natural resources and its direct effect on the economy. The marine ecosystem of the ria and the quality of water are crucial for both tourism and the local industry, in particular the shell fish and fishing sector. Through a discussion with experts from a diverse range of fields, including economy, urbanism, geography and cultural sectors, with representatives from the fishing industry, it was agreed that a catalyst was needed to address the problem and to initiate collaboration from all sectors.

The regional government and mayors gave their support to the future development of the study, ensuring financial contribution to continue the work. DCA will take part in the second stage of the study as it evolves in the next 12 months.

As the study of Ria de Arousa enters its fourth week, the team has focused on the final workshop and presentation with David Chipperfield, held 9-10 July with local authorities and the mayors of the five municipalities. A cross-disciplinary and diverse range of guests and experts will also participate, representing fields including urbanism, civil engineering, restoration, geography and economics, with representatives from fisherman associations, water quality control and food quality control.

The second workshop follows up on the concluding themes of the previous, seeking to create a foundation for a collaborative network to share ideas across sectors, and to encourage a permanent program to develop and protect the region, with particular focus on the preservation of the natural environment.

Yesterday the Mayor of Lyon, Grard Collomb, announced DCA London as winners of the competition for the development of a site on the Confluence area of the city. Uniting the work of British, Portuguese and Swiss architects for a French city and developer, the project is one of many examples of the importance of European collaboration.

A mixed-use development of 12 buildings is planned for the 27,000 square metre site that sits within the wider masterplan designed by Herzog & de Meuron. DCA will coordinate the development and design some of the buildings, working closely with Portuguese practice Aires Mateus who have been appointed to carry the designs for 40% of the buildings. The team will also be joined by a Lyon-based architecture practice yet to be named.

Museo Jumex in Mexico is exhibiting Peter Fischli and David Weiss: How to Work Better. Opening this month, the exhibition offers the most comprehensive overview of their artistic collaboration to date.Occupying every corner of the museum, the exhibition features more than 200 sculptures, photographs, slide projections and videos from the Swiss duos 33 years of partnership. Arranged without any chronological order, the display reflects the timeless dialogue of their work and responds to the spatial conditions of the museum. The first floor multifunction space is used to display Suddenly This Overview, flooded by natural daylight. The series of miniature clay sculptures depict arbitrary everyday events, each exhibited on a single plinth arranged like a city scape. The darker and more enclosed spaces of the second level features Questions, a slide-show projecting hundreds of philosophical questions to the wall, in four different languages. At the very top of the building, the gallery space has been arranged into three separate rooms, showing the pitch black Rubber Sculptures, cast directly from domestic or natural objects, Airports, conventional photographs of airplanes, with sculptures ofCars. With constellations of mundane objects and popular culture symbolism, Weiss and Fischli ponder questions on reality and perception, the banal and the sublime.

The exhibition is open until 4 September.

For the Ria de Arousa studys third week, the team has prepared for the first of two workshops with David Chipperfield and guests, held on 24-25 June. The team outlined key areas felt to have been exploited by a lack of overview and misguided priorities and looked in depth at how this had affected the natural, agricultural, industrial and built environments.

Day one of the workshop, the team presented their work to David Chipperfield, Fermn Vzquez (Visiting Professor at University of Barcelona and co-collaborator with DCA on the City of Justice), Simon Kretz (Senior Assistant and Lecturer for Urban Design at ETH Zurich) andHans-Jrgen Commerell (Partner at Architekturforum Aedes, Berlin).

The second day of the workshop included additional input from Carlos Seoane (Teacher of Construction at University of Corua , Juan Creus (Head of Project and Urbanism Department, University of Corua), Xose Lois Martinez (Teacher of Urbanism at University of Corua) andFernando Agrasar (Director of School of Architecture, University of Corua). The discussions identified the scope and potential of the workshop and final presentation. The team proposes that the preservation of the quality of the natural environment, particularly water, is of central importance to all sectors, helping to restore a more harmonious relationship between nature, economy, and development.

After spending the first week travelling around local municipalities and collecting information, the Ria de Arousa workshop group are now based in Ribeira where they are collating their findings and developing a methodology for protection and development strategies. Looking at the challenges and potentials of the territory, the team are focusing on three main areas: how best to promote a productive fishing culture; the impact of urban development on the local ecosystem; and an assessment of local industrial development across various sectors.

Alongside this research, the team continue to strengthen key connections with the community of the Ria and engage with wider discussions. Towards the end of the week Colectivo 1aun, a young practice from A Corua, shared their extensive research on the Ria de Arousa with the group. In addition, Cristina Garca Fontn, a teacher in urbanism at the University of A Corua, also shared some of her projects with the workshop, and provided key advice on research methods and presentation techniques.

"The EU protects your rights against these enemies of freedom.To leave the EU now, in these dangerous political times, is not patriotic, its simply foolish and it would send the wrong message to the enemies of European values. The EU is not perfect and it never was designed to be that way. The very way of it being a negotiating chamber of 28 nations, is the key to its success. It is not in the security interests of the UK to weaken the EU at this point in time. Whatever your feelings towards the EU, be aware that voting for Brexit has catastrophic repercussions for the whole of Europe and the world."

Last weekend members of DCA London visited The Hepworth Wakefield to celebrate the gallerys fifth anniversary.

The team of graduates and students participating in the study for environmental development and protection of the Ria de Arousa area have gathered in Galicia to begin their research. During the first week the group visited various municipalities and met with local authorities and stakeholders to gain an understanding of the current state of the industry, ecosystems, cultural heritage and urban planning in the area, as well as the complexities of their interdependence. Among the places visited were the fishing port of Portosin, a shellfish cultivation area in Boiro, canning factories near A Pobra la Caraminal, the Patho Goian historic manor building, new urban developments in Allariz, and the Ecoespazoecological farm.

Over the coming weeks the group will collate their observations to define the key focus of the study.
