Architecture Update: Creation story
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A CURIOUS exhibition opened at the Royal Institute of British Architects last week aimed at trying to explain the creative process that architects go through when designing a building. 'The Art of the Process' features the work of 26 leading architects, including Sir Norman Foster and Sir Richard Rogers.
Altogether less difficult is the Architecture Foundation's exhibition of the 11 runners-up in a competition to design Britain's first 'Foyer', a short-stay hostel for young people. The winning design was by Ian Simpson, a young Manchester architect. The pounds 2.5m Foyer will be built on a canalside site in the centre of Birmingham.
