My friends at Autex Acoustics have been keeping me busy lately. First I shot the new Loughborough University campus at the London olympic village for them. This seems to be part of a growing trend of British universities building outpost campuses in other parts of the country, even other parts of the world. For Autex it was an opportunity to show off a broad range of their products in an exciting new setting.
They also collaborated with Arup, BAM and others on the Circular House at London Design Festival. The idea was to create a prototype for a new way of building in which materials are re-used and recycled and waste reduced.

Then, tacked onto the end of another project, I visited the lovely people at Architecture PLB to shoot the acoustic panels installed at their office.
In September I had a beautiful, misty morning start shooting Norton Priory Museum in Cheshire for Buttress Architects. Above the existing undercroft, they have added a gallery space that provides views of the remains of the priory buildings. There is also an exhibition space, separated from the undercroft by an atrium which incorporates the reception area.
The undercroft is the only part of the original priory still standing, and it was incorporated into a country house that remained until the 1920s.
Going back a couple of months, I shot two projects for Pozzoni Architects. First, two tower blocks in Ancoats that have been re-clad and refurbished, and a residential development in Ashton-Under-Lyne.
