Ian Bogle invited to give a talk on the Value of Design symposium in Delft
Ian Bogle has been invited to give a talk at this year's Value of Design symposium to take place in Delft on the 10th of May. Ian's talk will concentrate on the collaboration between Architects and Engineers in real life projects.
About the Value of Design symposium:
'For many decades, architects and engineers have been designing buildings for different environments and situations. At first sight it would seem like an engineering task to design buildings in such a way that they resist these extreme forces. However, to reach the best possible results in terms of safety, aesthetics and economy, an integral collaboration between architects, structural engineers and building engineers is necessary. By taking all the different aspects of a project into account from an early stage, and in an integral and multidisciplinary approach, long-lasting and visually appealing structures can be achieved.
The symposium ‘Value of Design’ highlights both the architectural part and the engineering part of several projects which have to deal with extreme forces, focusing in the collaboration between the two disciplines.' http://valueofdesign.nl

Bogle Architects' proposal among top six awarded entries on NEW AARCH Design Competition
In the final stages of the competition for the new School of Architecture at Aarhus University, out of 230 entries from 41 countries, Bogle Architects reached the top 6!
The jury said of the proposal:
‘’ The jury would like to praise the idea of one large central arrival hall, the design of which is one of the most interesting of the competition. The first thing to greet a visitor is the school’s activities in the workshop and mock-up facilities, and the visual contact and transparency between the functions of the building are given pride of place. ‘’

Auf Wiedersehen Holm!
After nearly 4 years together, and there from the very beginning of Bogle Architects, we say ‘ auf wiedersehen ’ to our colleague and friend, Holm Bethge.
Ian Bogle said,
"We’ve worked together for nearly 12 years and it’s with sadness that our collaborations have ended. I have many fond memories of our time and adventures together, and on behalf of all at Bogle Architects we wish you a great new life in Germany with your family. Who knows, we may even compete against each other at some point in the future …which would be an interesting situation! Take care, and keep well."
No.8@Arup
Bogle Architects spent a busy day at Arup’s headquarters in London this week, presenting our shortlisted design for the No.8 @ Arup competition.
Each of the seven shortlisted designs responded to the brief to ‘design a staircase installation that will bring joy and delight to its users’.
Our design serves to unleash the user’s inner child by exploring all of the sensory possibilities of the everyday chore of vertical circulation. Moving from one floor of the building to another will become a fun, social spectacle, awakening all of the senses.
We proposed a prototype of our design that would connect level 2 of Arup’s HQ to the ground floor level.
The extended version of this prototype would consist of a pair of slides that twist through the atrium, linking level 5 to level 2, and level 2 to the ground floor. A social area, including a library and café, sits at the level 2 interchange.
The slides are made of glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) – a translucent material that allows light to diffuse through the sculpture. LED rings illuminated by sensors will follow riders down the slide, creating a visual spectacle within the building’s atrium.

Prague 5
Viktorie Souckova presented two of our projects at ‘Podnikatel a Zivnostnik roku 2015 Prahy 5’ (Entrepreneur of the Year 2015 at Prague 5)
The event took place on Thursday the 21st January 2016 at Staropramen Visitor’s Centre, and was attended by 150 guests.
The projects presented were both administration buildings: Smichov Plzenska a Smichov Kovaku.
We were invited to present at the event by MUDr. Radek Klíma, the Mayor of Prague 5 and Mgr. Jan Smetana, Deputy Mayor of Prague 5, and the person presponsible for Trade and Investment.
No.8@Arup
Our entry for the No. 8 @Arup competition has been shortlisted along with five other designs.
The competition is to design an installation for Arup's UK head office at 8 Fitzroy Street in London. This year's brief was to design a stairway installation that connects all/some of the building's seven floors, including the basement. The desired outcomes of the winning installation are to bring joy and delight to users, and to support their mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.
We will be presenting our idea at Arup's HQ in the week commencing 26 January 2016, and share the design on our website soon after!
