A Day at the Architects by Paul Spooner

We are proud to announce our new window exhibition with works by automata maker, Paul Spooner. “The plan is to make six objects; one for each of the six windows looking onto Bury Place. Two are done, two are thought of and two are neither done nor thought off.” Done: ‘Physics for Cats’. Powered by a mouse wheel, a version of Galileo’s Inclined Plane apparatus gradually tilts a track on which a cat on a trolley is free to roll. When the forces of friction and gravity are overcome the cat travels from one end of the track to the…

#thisisconcrete

For our current exhibition, Rodić Davidson Architects are delighted to display a wide range of innovative concrete samples in collaboration with The Concrete Centre. Entitled #thisisconcrete, the exhibition illustrates the different visual characteristics that can be achieved with concrete with the aim of dispelling the common misconception that the building material is grey and brutal. Instead, the display proves that concrete construction can be colourful, delicate and – with the aid of scientific innovation – benefit the built environment. Concrete has played an important role in the development of architecture for thousands of years. Its plasticity and strength has been used…

Japanese Paintings by Alison Turnbull

We are delighted to welcome Alison Turnbull to our exhibition space on Bury Place this Summer. Alison will be displaying works from her on-going series Japanese Paintings (2000 – present). These small-scale, geometric paintings are based on arrangements of tatami mats used in traditional Japanese interiors. Twice as long as they are wide, and laid out in interlocking grids, mats were originally designed to accommodate one person lying down or two seated. They act as units of measure, both for Japanese architecture, and for these intense and luminous abstract paintings. Alison Turnbull was born in Bogotá and lives and works…

Bespoke Beat by Katarina Mootich

Garden Birds by Anna Dickerson

We have been working on a new studio for our friend, Anna Dickerson. Anna has painted a series of beautiful jewel-like paintings of birds in her garden and these form the new window display in our office. Anna lives in an Oast House in Kent surrounded by orchards. Her garden is a riot of bold pinks, reds, yellows and greens and these colours are vibrantly reflected in her paintings. Anna trained at the Glasgow School of Art and Rhode Island School of Design. She has exhibited widely and has worked as Artist in Residence at London Zoo. Anna has work in…

Hand Drawings by Rodić Davidson

We have changed our window display to celebrate some of our hand drawings. Curated by Natasha, the display presents hand drawings across a series of projects.

Exhibits at the Practice

We had display boxes installed on our Bury Place frontage today. We are planning a series of temporary exhibits,  to display both the current / recent work of the practice and also, potentially, the work of local artists.
