Great turnout at our evening talk with Professor Geir Brendeland of Brendeland & Kristoffersen Architects and P&M Partner, Tim Lucas, on their project, Hage. Located outside the medieval city of Lund in Sweden, Hage is a high quality public space designed to offer a meditative, beautiful urban space and garden at the heart of a new neighbourhood. Thank you to everyone who attended this talk.

Once an office space, now a reflection of Rochdale’s rich history and communities.  In the Bright Hall of #Rochdale Town Hall, restorative works required stripping away unsympathetic 20th-century office provisions to reveal a double-height ceiling, angels along the walls, and a hidden window.  Today, the Bright Hall has been unlocked for public access, is available for events, and features permanent artwork co-created with the community.  See the transformation below and read more about the full phase two works at Rochdale Town Hall: https://lnkd.in/eUb6AVMW Rochdale Borough Council | Rochdale Development Agency  | Gillespies | H.H Smith & Sons | Frank Whittle Partnership | Max Fordham LLP | Price & Myers | Buro Happold | Redman Design | Hirst Conservation Ltd | Lancashire Conservation Trust | The York Glaziers Trust | The National Lottery Heritage Fund

Price & Myers will be participating in this years' Engineers Create, an exhibition that features some of the creative things that building engineers do and brings together recent research and projects members of the Engineering Club. The exhibition will be on from the 7th - 16th of November. If you'd like to go, find more information here: https://lnkd.in/efdB3Wkn

💡In a nutshell: this is how Katherine Chimenes at Price & Myers, uses Speckle to ensure #StructuralEngineers, #Designers, #Architects, #ComputationalDesigners, and #Fabricators work together seamlessly! Speckle is the way to work smarter, no doubt about it. But to leverage 100% of its power, you have to get into it. Explore. Play. Share experiences! 🚨 If you want to do that and you're in/around London this month, don't miss SpeckleCon! 🎟️ Grab one of the LAST tickets: https://lnkd.in/dsmei6_G See who else is presenting: https://lnkd.in/dYWa67mj Explore the workshops: https://lnkd.in/dsuq2iQW #SpeckleCon #SpeckleCon2024

RIBA’s House of the Year 2024 shortlist highlights exceptional UK residential architecture, including Farmworker's House, The Hall, and Six Columns, three projects Price & Myers has contributed to. The Hall, with TaylorHare Architects, is a serene rural retreat crafted with natural materials, blending harmoniously into its landscape. Farmworker's House, with HUGH STRANGE ARCHITECTS LIMITED, is a practical yet elegant single-story home designed for a farm manager, and Six Columns, with 31/44 Architects, is a thoughtfully designed family home that aligns with its neighborhood setting. See the full list on the RIBA website for more. https://ow.ly/7FmI50TXpnM 📷: Farmworker's House / Jason Orton

Structural engineering and computational design should be integrated roles, not separate or conflicting ones. Digital transformation in AEC—and especially in structural engineering—needs practical applications, not just idealistic concepts. Effective design depends on collaboration. Instead of endless data processing, we need unhindered creativity, seamless collaboration, and easy-to-adopt solutions, especially as AEC projects face tighter schedules and resources. Design shouldn’t mean stress, and data exchange shouldn’t be a hurdle; streamlined processes free up time and enable better and more sustainable designs. From programming, I learned the value of version control and tool usability. In AEC, we prioritise design delivery over workflow development, and that focus doesn't need to shift either. We need tools that don't require us to think about workflows that hard, like Speckle. Join me at SpeckleCon in London, on November 13th, to discuss how a shift in work culture in AEC can be the greatest enabler in digital transformation, and how Speckle helps us in that journey and democratises digital tools for all disciplines.

I just spent a few days in Trinidad as a guest of the IStructE’s Caribbean group for their Past 30 | Future 30 conference. They are a thriving community who practice across the Caribbean and beyond. Topics ranged from hurricane resistant design of wind turbines from former Price & Myers colleague Omar Allahar, earthquake design from regional and international experts, bamboo and rock and roll engineering from Neil Thomas MBE, making sustainable and positive social outcomes present in our engineering work from Mike Haigh and a talk from me on how the engineering of art can inform the art of engineering - the challenge of the climate is as creative as it is political and technical. We had two intense days together in an intense and thriving place. Exploring Port of Spain and managing to fit in a swim at a local beach with Neil and Jo. Overall, some really enjoyable times in the company of the structural engineers of the Caribbean. The climate crisis was, as ever present in the room and visible in those powerful and increasing design wind speeds, never mind all the other consequences. What’s mine to do? We must always teach, and go out of our way to meet people who engineer with a different set of problems and constraints on their plate. My talk worked towards an idea that engineering artwork sets you up beautifully for regenerative design, and there are so many opportunities in tropical regions to do that, it would be nice to go back and see what’s possible. Thanks to everyone involved for an fun and fascinating get together. Shalini Jagnarine-Azan Tasha T.
