Book review in Building Design Online
March 2023
Karl has reviewed a new book - Encounterism The Neglected Joys of Being In Person. Drawing Attention: Architecture in the Age of Social Media by Andy Field.
Read in review in Building Design
Urban life really does require human interaction, Field explores this with child-like passion, and helps remind us that remote-desktoping your life is not life at all. As human-beings with over 14 unique senses, just remember that Zoom/Teams only caters to two of those senses.
When you work on buildings together, these projects can take years to complete. We must not lose sight of working with people we love working with… Therefore, meet in person, share those experiences, get hungry together, get hot/cold together, share in each other’s pains, radiate, share in joy, confidence, awkwardness, nervousness, and everything else that defines what it is to exist on this planet – together.
Book available from all bookstores.

Ernest Race BA2 reassembled for Charity Auction
May 2015
A team at Ian Ritchie Architects (Ian Ritchie, Brian Heron, Andrew Hum and Karl Singporewala) have taken an Ernest Race BA2 Chair and transformed it into an aeroplane to be auctioned off for the chairty The Art Room.
Over 90 artists will have their 'chairs' displayed in the atrium at Selfridges, Oxford Street London. Each 'chair' will be sold to the highest bidder through online auction house Paddle8 from the 22 May, with all proceeds going to The Art Room. There is also a live auction on the 9th June.
The venture is ...a collaboration between Fair & Co and The Art Room, which offers art as therapeutic intervention for children facing challenges in their lives.
Ernest Race’s chair design was done in 1945 right after the war. Wood was scarce at this time and the British Government encouraged manufacturers to use new materials that were more available – like aluminium – which was plentiful due to the decommissioning of weapons and aircraft.
At IRAL we have reconstructed the chair and essentially turned it back into an aircraft! The piece is made entirely from the BA2 race chair components with zero off cuts!

Other highlights will include a video room dedicated to the work of Jayne Parker and a gallery of Scottish and Irish artists arranged by Barbara Rae RA. Other artists exhibiting this year include Christopher Le Brun PRA, Michael Landy RA, Tracey Emin RA, Ken Howard RA, Raqib Shaw, Calum Innes and Keith Coventry among others.

Size: 800x240mm (each)
Medium: Giclée Prints on Gloss
No.# Editions: 50
Set in a portentous context – one of increasingly bleak and ominous climatological forecasts – this project, located east of the City of London in the Thames River, reconsiders the impending redundancy of the Thames Barrier to deliver an accomplished and innovative solution to all soothsayers.
The project – the result of a thorough synthesis of detailed research methods (archival, study trips to The Netherlands and external consultant consultations) and speculative drawing techniques – invests architectural ideas in the city at a strategic and infrastructural level, posing questions of scale left normally to the rationale of civil engineers. The drawing is the subject, object and site of the work articulating the project at a range of scales that zoom from 1:50,000 to 1:20 in the complex, varied and immaculately presented set of final drawings.
