If there’s a cooler head office in Birmingham than this one we visited this week, show us! @lenchs_trust
At the invitation of @WMVicSoc ,practice director @naomi_fisher gave a presentation today on the repurposing of #Birmingham’s Gas Retort House - Britain’s oldest surviving gasworks.
It was so uplifting to reflect on the journey with @GasStreetChurch nine years ago! #heritage

What will @BrumLeader, @SimonFosterPCC or @CllrMajid do to create streets on which children are safe?

It’s a bumper time atm for engaging with young people interested in #architecture.
With a succession of work experience students eager to get a taste of the career we (mostly!) love, and last week Dave and Vicky spent a fun day with pupils from @ABIlsley designing ecohomes!
Director, @naomi_fisher here at The Priory Rooms in our home city with a superb line up with @theTCPA on ‘Developing Well- creating places and spaces where children and yp thrive’
This matrix just shared by @drwilliambird shd be shared with every architect on the planet.
This summer, we are delighted to be welcoming six work experience students to the practice- ranging from Y10s to 6th formers to undergraduates.
First off was Bisma, a student from @BCU_BSoAD who got to scale the dizzy heights of our restoration project at West Brom Town Hall!

Vicky, Sharmin and Naomi celebrating International Women’s Day at the @Birm_Arch event at Symphony Hall.
As a majority female practice, it’s clear that whilst women have secured our places at the table, we now need to change how the table is laid.

Brilliant sense of camaraderie amongst architecture allies tonight @Birm_Arch for #IWD24
Fascinating variety of perspectives from the speakers, and a common thread of the value of end user engagement in showcased projects.
But q’s remain about representation in our profession.
Super progress on site at West Bromwich town hall and library restoration.
Stonework repairs and new roof looking great, as is the view of West Bromwich from the top of the impressive scaffolding.

Five years ago, I wrote an article about the design of @NMandelaSch , and how it affected my understanding of architecture’s social purpose.
Yesterday, I visited the school for the first time for an unrelated reason, and loved seeing inside at last!

A baby was born unto Mary!
Today we welcomed our youngest ever visitor to the practice- at barely 4 weeks old 😊.
What a gorgeous way to end the week catching up with Mary, Chris and their beautiful daughter - huge congratulations to them
