Hillcott barn, jostles in an exciting way, with conservation heritage. Located in a remote valley of Herefordshire it is a mouthwatering example of contemporary residential design.
The program exposes the pitfalls of self project management. RRA Architects believe that self-build project management is fraught with complexity and shouldn’t be attempted without professional guidance through out the entire project.
This episode of Grand Designs, first released by Channel 4 in April 2006 highlights in bucket-loads, how client optimism mixed with reality are not necessarily happy bed fellows. The end result after much blood, sweat and tears is a fantastic barn conversion described by Ken McCloud as, ” a mouthwatering contemporary barn conversion.”
The program maker Talkback Thames submitted this episode of Grand Designs for a Golden Montreux TV award in 2006.

Here’s a time lapse video from our webcam showing the progress on the Vukovich Center for Communication Arts. The 40,000-square-foot complex will include rehearsal and instructional areas, video production facilities, and a large performance space for hosting public events. The building will also have a “garden roof” of grass, ground cover, and trees. This will contribute not only to the beauty of the building but to the goal of making it a highly energy efficient structure.
To develop a state-of-the-art center that will be virtually unequaled among Allegheny’s peer schools, the College has chosen the world-renowned architectural firm Polshek Partnership, LLP, for the project. Polshek is considered to be among the top architectural firms for this type of facility. Among their credits are the Santa Fe Opera, the New York City Planetarium, the Clinton Presidential Library and the Ed Sullivan Theater restoration and conversion. They are also responsible for the Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center restorations.
The center is named in honor of Allegheny trustee Robert A. Vukovich ‘65 and his wife, Laura J. Vukovich. A portion of the Vukoviches’ $22.2 million gift to Allegheny will be used to fund the center. The College also received support for the project from several other generous donors, including alumni, friends, and foundations. In addition, Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell announced during an August visit to the College that the Commonwealth would provide $4 million for the Center through the Redevelopment istance Capital Program.

Hundredhands presents “DOSHI – ARCHITECTURE WITHOUT ADJECTIVES” – A film by Premjit Ramachandran.
Presented here a nutshell version of a film about legendary architect B.V. Doshi.
“While there has been earlier documentation on Doshi’s work, it has largely been in the form of books and magazine articles. While this may capture the qualitative values of Doshi’s work, it does not adequately capture Doshi’s personality or his role and influence on the architectural profession in India. He was the person responsible for bringing Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn to India. In the early years after India gained independence from colonial rule, he is one of a handful of seminal figures who set the tone in exploring architecture’s capacity to come to terms with the sense of modernity sought by this nascent nation. He set the benchmark for architectural education through his founding role in the Centre for Environmental Planning & Technology in Ahmedabad. He has not remained confined to the architectural idiom of his early career, and his work has continued to evolve substantively through his constant questioning of fundamentals in architecture. But what is striking about Doshi is the fact that his passion, enthusiasm and desire to learn have remained unabated even today.” – Prem Chandavarkar, Chandavarkar & Thacker Architects
