Making Architecture — the work of John McAslan + Partners

John McAslan in conversation with Gary Hattem about his book Making Architecture, 

John McAslan + Partner studio is committed to the environment but also to its transformation of significant historic buildings and pioneering social initiatives and has made a remarkable contribution to architecture, place-making and the lives of many over three decades. The work by John McAslan includes recently completed and ongoing international projects, ranging from Central and Waterloo stations in Sydney to the transformation of King’s Cross station in London; and from the sensitive repair and renewal of the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, the Roundhouse, London,and The Burrell Collection in Glasgow, to the new Msheireb Mosque and nearby Msheireb Museums in Qatar. McAslan studio has become renowned for pioneering initiatives, which underline the practice’s humanity and sense of social responsibility: the urgent rebuilding of the Iron Market in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, after the devastating earthquake in 2010; the N17 project, which provided an innovative pop-up apprenticeship design studio in Tottenham, north London; and the ongoing Hidden Homeless initiative.
