Brit Insurance Design
The opera house keeps stacking up on the awards. It recently won the architecture category at this years Brit Insurance Design Awards. Three weeks from now there will be another ceremony marking the overall winner of the seven categories represented in the BIDA. An award for an award? Go figure.
Bedford Press x Maridalen Trykk
The Architectural Association set up their own print shop last year called Bedford Press, a small-scale printing press and publisher within their school, and together with the AA Print Studio will publish all printed materials. The print shop is runned by Zak Kyes, Wayne Daly, Claire McManus and Phill Clatworthy.
Our school should have an entity like this, say a sort of Maridalen Trykk, playing a pro-active role in coordinating, designing and publishing the scools academic output, broadcasting it to anyone out there.

Every now and then the Norwegian Customs sets up tent not far away from our school, just around the corner actually. So, some mornings on our way to class we see this.
