Abstract study of lighting patterns for

Wilkinson Eyre’s basketball arena by UnitedVisual Artists (p59)

09 2011 CONTEXT:

Leader : 07 Recent rioting shows that even such regeneration as our Olympic site is still too exclusive Viewfinder : 08 Last month’s riots burned homes – ironically on an old housing regeneration project The month : 10 John Lewis designs again, Liverpool museum opens Neil Spiller strikes, EZs are back Profile : 13 New president Angela Brady has a large agenda on which to use skills from her formidable cv RIBA brief : 17 A busy autumn programme for members, plus the Lubetkin Prize shortlist and briefs Obituary : 20 David Dry, designer of exotic homes Perspective : 22 Architects having fun, feeling cross, and contemplating the world of interiors Out there : 24 Niemeyer’s legacy is the starting block for Brazil’s international sporting showcase Review : 26 In the war architects were pressed into service too, from camouflage to all sorts of design Preview : 29 The V&A’s post modernism exhibition prompts the question: style or tolerance of taste? Listings : 32 What’s on and when Letters : 34 Designs with granny in mind, plain English plea, conservation gripe, BIM bash

ANALYSIS:

Olympic overview : 36 The massive undertaking that at times looked perilously close to disaster has confounded its critics: well on schedule, strong on style and sustainability, and ready for life after games Aquatics Centre : 40 It’s going to be much better in legacy mode, but even with its much-derided temporary seating wings and budget-driven reworkings, Zaha Hadid’s venue holds its audience Olympic Stadium : 48 In a games characterised by regeneration, efficiency and reuse, the cleverness in this design is the way it puts sport, for these Olympics and beyond, on the pedestal it deserves Velodrome : 56 Tipped for the Stirling Prize, this striking venue is settling comfortably into place, as ready for the games as for life after they are done Other venues : 59 As well as the headline venues for the games, architects have been busy creating arenas for basketball, handball, water polo, and white water sports – and the complex at Eton Manor

INTELLIGENCE:

Technical | Editorial : 79 Jan-Carlos Kucharek introduces this month’s intelligence offerings Technical | Envelope : 80 A huge Athletes’ Village for the Olympics will house thousands afterwards Technical | CPD : 86 As the RIBA simplifies its core curriculum, architects tell how they keep compliant Practice | Salary survey : 93 It’s still pretty grim, but there are better signs for hope than last year Practice | Planning : 96 Prospects for good design look brighter with the draft national planning policy Practice | Legal : 98 A new ruling on rights to light means addressing it from the very start of a project Practice | Real lives : 100 One architect’s view of the benefits of working for a client. Plus David Saxby Regional focus | North west : 103 Business skills don’t conflict with design success – they can help

PS:

Parting shot : 114 The LCC gave athletes Olympic standard training facilities in style at Crystal Palace

‘ What we are doing is insane – no-one in the UK has developed at this scale or pace before’ Paul Hartmann : 80
