Working in Historic Contexts

A suitable venue then to attend a lecture on that very subject. Spotted by the SK; a talk by Alasdair Graham of David Chipperfield Architects covering their practice's work including the Jenners and Dunard Centre projects.
That's right. Jenners! How we’ve missed that place. Edinburgh may have been a grey,  stuffy, smelly, smoky old place apart from a festival thing once a year, which wasn’t for the likes of us, but it had Jenners. You entered with a sense of reverence and wonder. And you behaved; hushed as a library. 
The town has never been the same since its demise. I can report that Mr Graham and his clever team, assisted by the very deep pockets of one Anders Holch Povlsen, a Dane, are doing some wonderful things to the interior which will restore our civic pride. We shall once again walk with chests out and heads upright. I may wear a hat.
