Winchester architects launch charity football tournament
9:19am Thursday 27th June 2013 in News
WINCHESTERS architects raised 200 as they launched a new five-a-side football tournament.
On Saturday (June 15), the first annual AR Design Studio invitational five-a-side football tournament was held.
Eight teams took part in the showdown at Kings School, with all proceeds going to Shelter, the housing and homeless charity.
The teams were drawn from seven architectural practices: AR Design Studio, ADAM Architecture, Re-Format, Lyon+Sleeman+Hoare, David Morley, Design ACB and Design Engine, whilst Mike Jacobs and S Spreadbury Roofing represented the construction industry.
The final was an Architects versus Builders affair, as S Spreadbury proved too strong for ADAM Architecture.
Andy Ramus, founder and director of AR Design Studio, said: We were delighted to see so many local architectural firms coming together to compete in the tournament and raise money for Shelter. The day could not have happened without the fantastic support from RIBA and BD online.
Jonathan Rickard, Hampshire branch representative of the Royal Institute of British Architects awarded the trophies.

After making its debut at the American Institute of Architects convention in Denver last week, the above music video of bespectacled architects rapping about their profession is now a YouTube favorite.
"I Am an Architect" has rung up close to 150,000 views since it was uploaded a week ago. The two men in the three-minute video are unnamed, but the production was created by YKK AP America, a Georgia company that designs, engineers and manufactures complex fenestration systems.
The company is part of Tokyo industrial giant YKK, a company whose initials are stamped on untold millions of zippers across the planet.
Set to a hip-hop beat, the rap "I picture Frank Lloyd Wright, while you think I'm Mike Brady; and engineers devour our work and call us crazy" won't make you forget Talib Kweli, but they're fun.
The intersection between rap and architecture isn't quite as unusual at it might seem. Consider this bit from PBS educational show 3-2-1 Contact from way back in 1987:
In 2012, the marketing department at architecture firm SmithGroupJJR made this one for kicks and giggles:
And my favorite, Ted Kamp's "Mies van der Rohe" from 2007. It's not rap, but the hook is a monster:

Finnish design firm ALA Architects Ltd. has won the architectural competition for Finlands Helsinki Central Library. Selected from six entries in stage two of the competition, ALAs entry, Knns, proposes a 172,000-square-foot facility consisting almost entirely of public spaces. Boasting an arching form, the design divides library functions into three distinctive levels: an active ground floor, a calm upper floor, and an enclosed space in between catering to more specific functions. The firm won 50,000 euros for its first-place finish.
The competition jury commended ALAs submission for its cityscape, functionality, and eco-sensitive design. The architecture of the proposal is of a very high quality, executed with relaxed, broad strokes, and memorable, jurors noted. The proposal provides excellent premises for the development of a completely new functional concept for the library. The building has a unique appeal and the prerequisites to become the new symbolic building which Helsinki residents, library users, as well as the staff, will readily adopt as their own.
Entrants were evaluated on criteria such as usability, sustainability, and feasibility, as well as their ability to fit into the existing urban structure. No second prize was awarded, but Playa Architects Ltd and Verstas Architects Ltd shared the third-place prize of 31,500 euros each. The jury called Playas entry, Liblab, not only distinct and sculptural but also suitable for public purposes while recognizing its "well-thought-out glass surfaces in the most important directions. Verstas submission, Kasi, was acknowledged as appealing and approachable. Jurors also praised the design for its separating walls, ceiling, and massive wooden elements.
The library is scheduled to open in 2018.
