Will Self: Stockwell Bus Garage
As part of the lecture series ‘Critic’s Choice: London’s Most Important Building’, author Will Self has proposed the Stockwell Bus Garage designed by Adie, Button and Partners, with the engineer A E Beer for its revolutionary, beautiful and highly utilitarian form. When constructed in 1952 it was the largest area enclosed by a single roof in Europe. The whale-backed roof made of reinforced concrete, shows how shortages - in this case of steel - can produce aesthetic as well as functional solutions. Having passed it everyday he has appreciated it as ‘a working building, integrally connected to London’s public transport’.

Making the invisible visible: Dan Hill on digital design and strategy | SlowTV | The Monthly
At this State of Design Festival event, Dan Hill discusses how cities worldwide are beginning to transform the urban experiences through smart digital services, to the benefit of all users of the city. He describes a world in which people will increasingly expect the normal urban experience – public transport, wayfinding, council services, urban planning and architecture, cultural activities and so on – to be as interactive as apps on a smart phone. Drawing from his experience with cities and urban developments globally (as a Senior Consultant with Arup), Dan Hill provides a user guide for the coming era of smart cities.
Presented by State of Design at ACMI, Federation Square, Melbourne, July 2010

More than a metaphor: Making places with information
Conference: IA Summit 2011 Speaker(s): Andrea Resmini, Andrew Hinton, Jorge Arango Like building architects before them, information architects are creating the spaces in which people meet, transact, communicate, and learn. The spaces that IAs design are where many people will be spending a considerable part of their lives. A heady role!
This session will explore relationship between information and architecture, taking seriously the phrase “the design of information spaces”. You’ll learn how place-making works as a design methodology, the importance of context on the design of an information space, and how to explain the value of IA in architectural terms that clients and colleagues can understand more clearly.
