It’s time to say goodbye to the itchy tashes at last as Movember has finally come to an end. We’ve managed to raise over £100 with more cash to follow and if you still would like to contribute the page is still up at: http://uk.movember.com/mospace/index/search/q/designerstubble

We made it to Paris with both the Grand Tourer and I in one piece despite one scuffed elbow and three punctures! We covered over 240 miles by the time I got back to Kings Cross (a loop round the Arc de Triomph and gardens of Versailles increased the distance a bit!).
We even managed to fit in a little bit of architectural sightseeing along the way, so I’ve attached some photos for your enjoyment. Altogether we’ve raised over £350 for Cancer Research so far (you can keep track here. So thanks to everyone for your help and support! It was a lot harder than we thought, as I don’t think any of us factored in the extra weight of spares and my ridiculously heavy duty U-lock!

Congratulations to all our staff who took part in the Great North Run at the weekend and raised oodles of money for Charity. This year beneficiaries of our staff’s hard training and sponsorship include the Alzheimer’s Society, Guide Dogs for the Blind and Farplace Animal Rescue. Pictured here are Lisa Cook, Adrian Evans, Kay Dodds and Helen Goodsell. Word is that Tim Wilson ran too fast to be caught on camera.

Recent success on the golf course has given me a free round of golf for 4 at Chester le Street. We have to give a few days notice, and it needs to be on a weekday to avoid competitions, but if anyone is interested please give me a shout. The voucher is valid until this time next year, so plenty of time!
Names in a hat please…

The BBC recently had a days filming at the new ‘Fodder’ farm shop and cafe building we designed for the Yorkshire Agricultural Society on The Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate.
Apparently, they filmed for 12 hours and somehow this has been condensed into 3 full minutes! and this will be aired this Friday 21st August on the BBC1 One Show (7pm start).
For those of you who have not been, here’s a chance to see it.

I came across this article by Hugh Pearman in The Sunday Times.
It has some information on the exhibitions and reveals that both architects had more in common than you might think at first glance.

Le Corbusier's La Tourette
Hugh Pearman’s website has a collection of writing on architecture.

For an inspiring day out I would recommend a visit to Liverpool before the end of the month for two good reasons.
The Le Corbusier, the Art of Architecture exhibition and the Biennale-Made Up http://www.artinliverpool.com/biennial
The Le Corbusier exhibition is a comprehensive study of his work and it is packed with models, drawings, sketches and artwork. All very inspiring and a good insight into his creative process.
The Biennale is playful and ingenious and spread over various locations in the city centre. Do not miss the giant spider by the artist Ai Weiwei which sits in its web spun between building facades….there are also revolving trees.

Whilst we’re on the subject of student work…
The Leeds School of Architecture, Landscape and Design has invited P+HS to the guest preview the end of year exhibition, on Thurs 5th June 6pm-9pm.
The exhibition is open to the public from Fri 6th to Fri 13th between 10am-4pm (Saturday 7th June 10am-2pm).
The exhibition will be held in Hepworth Point, Leeds Metropolitan University, Claypit Lane, Leeds, LS2 8BQ.
Displays will include work from:
Architecture
Landscape Architecture
Garden Art and Design
Interior Architecture and Design
Design
Graduate Certificate Landscape Architecture
PG Dip Architecture
PG Dip/MA Landscape Architecture
It seems that garden design is actually a separate course to landscape architecture, who knew? By this point, the exhibition consists of refined selection, hand-picked by the tutors, and so should only contain the good stuff (i.e. can’t guarantee us P+HSers will have any work on display, but some or all of us might do).

The P+HS fun day out in Manchester should have inspired us all. Thanks to the Social Committee (+ Eamon, + Phil the tourguide) for organising another successful event. I’m sure everyone will agree it was worth the early morning train journey…even Patrick, who failed to surface until lunchtime!
