A fantastic end to 2024 with the North East Small Practice Coalface. Many faces from all across the North East came together to see the brilliant Dan Walker discuss the architectural landscape in the region. We also had fantastic presentations from and Studio Reiver.

It was great to see everyone come together for a brilliant presentation with some festive drinks and mince pies! 🎉 🎄

We look forward to hosting more small practice events in 2025 so please keep an eye out for details on the RIBA NE channels!

A reminder of the upcoming RIBA North East Small Practice Community annual COALFACE event on Wednesday 11th December from 6-8pm.

The event will be held in Newcastle at the Haylofts, 5 St Thomas Street, NE1 4LE, with easy access from Haymarket and Newcastle City Centre. 

Our main speaker will be historian Dan Jackson – author of The Northumbrians, A Sunday Times History Book of the Year 2019, and a New Statesman Book of the Year 2019.

Dan will draw threads between historic and social shifts in the North East and their corresponding impact on the character of the built environment over time. We expect the event will spark discussion and debate on how our work as architects can draw on deeper cultural meanings of place, all accompanied by festive drinks!

Alongside this we will be running a series of Pecha Kucha type presentations from some local practices including Alt Studio, MAZI and Studio Reiver, highlighting regional buildings that have been informative to their practice.

The event is free entry to architects and non-architects alike, but we do need you to book in via Eventbrite link in the bio.

Book in now for a brilliant denouement to 2024!
