An intimate session with Amin Taha 14|04|08

Adrem launches the first of its 'intimate sessions' this month. These lectures will run throughout the year and will feature leading figures in the design and architecture industries. We kick off with Amin Taha.  Guests will get the chance to enjoy a glass of wine while listening to a short talk by Amin on his recent projects, followed by an opportunity to critique his work and ask the questions you thought you'd never get the chance to ask. Places are limited and by reservation only. 

Thursday 17th April 2008, 6.30pm to 7.30pm. Doors open at 6pm.

Amin Taha Architects go solo 07|03|08

Following group exhibitions in the Royal Academy, the V&A, Santiago de Compostela and Barcelona, Amin Taha Architects will present their debut solo show at Adrem's dreamspace gallery between 13th March and 18th April 2008. Now worthy of an exhibition of their own, Amin Taha Architects is arguably one of the most up and coming design practices in London. Since it was established in 2003 it has completed the Gazzano House on Farringdon Road, the eye-catching Cor-Ten residential building next to the Guardian/Observer headquarters which was shortlisted for two awards and has won a competition for a new family house on the Thames in Henley, receiving international acclaim. The exhibition will introduce unseen competition entries, models and recent projects completed in 2007. Together, they will illustrate how the practice continues to develop an architectural oeuvre whose intercontextual approach draws on direct, physical and social contexts. This work highlights a unique and engaging poetry that better defines our relationship with that context and our intended habitation within it. For more details email dreamspace@adrem.uk.com.

Michelangelo was asked when the Sistine Chapel would be finished he said it would be finished when it was ready. But who will see the imperfections from the ground asked the crowd? I will, answered Michelangelo. Now we may not have Michelangelo exhibiting, but Amin on the other hand is a perfectionist none the less and suggested moving the start date back. The exhibition will now be unleashed on 13 March 2008.

Turned on and Switched off - Urbanography from the lens of a shutterbug 06|03|08

Vivid colours, derelict buildings and neon lights are some of Ben Williams' favoured photographic subjects. In his first public show, he exhibits a selection of this work that focuses on unfamiliar details or vistas within metropolitan landscapes. An architect by day, Ben is an enthusiastic amateur photographer and  is thrilled  to display some of his work in London. “I don't proclaim to be a photographic genius. I do this as an enthusiastic amateur in my free time and enjoy it immensely. I'm particularly interested in quirky details, derelict buildings and neon lights. These influences can be seen in many of the images  ... through the eyes of an architect ”. Ben continues, “My architectural background taught me some basic photographic skills but more importantly about opening eyes, looking around and being aware of the environment we live in."
