AADRL Ten Pavilion opening

080313 Opening

The official opening of the AADRL Ten pavilion took place today at the architectural Association. The front members’ room was crowded beyond capacity for a toast to the completion of the built project and a viewing of the DRL Ten exhibition.

Speeches by AA school director Brett Steele and project leader Yusuke Obuchi thanked all parties involved in the project and emphasized the importance of this achievement in the curriculum of the DRL. It is the first time that the graduate program of the AA completes a built project. All the work on-site was carried out by students and tutors. Nevertheless, the pavilion was made possible only with the co-sponsorship and contribution of many parties (see project page for full information).

The DRL Ten exhibition, on display until April, documents a decade of architectural design and research within the studio, as well as work by DRL graduates and tutors.
