TEDxSoweto 2012 - Lorenzo Nassimbeni - Architecture and the Art Within
Lorenzo Nassimbeni believes that the drawings that architects make should be elevated to the level of artworks. In this TEDxSoweto 2012 Talk, he takes us through a journey of his portfolio of work where this conviction vividly comes to life. Architecture meets fine art in the work of Lorenzo Nassimbeni. From wallcovering, to fabric and mural design, Nassimbeni #39;s portfolio is unified by a signature architectural style of drawing: a distillation of black line on white background. His mural designs complement the spaces of Neil Ellis Wines, Stellenbosch and the residence of Zolani Mahola, lead singer of Freshlyground. At the time of the talk, Nassimbeni was also working on a bespoke fabric collection for a furniture range designed by the company #39;WORK #39;. AboutTEDx In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.

SOUTHINGTON It wasnt good news from the Middle School Building Committee at the Town Council meeting Tuesday, with cost and construction timeline overruns projected for the renovation of Kennedy and DePaolo middle schools.

Chris Palmieri, Democratic councilor and member of the middle school building committee, said incorrect estimates by the architect firm Fletcher Thompson means the project will cost 10 percent more than the $85 million approved by voters in a referendum. Architects forgot to include the $1.9 million to build a fire wall and used the wrong square footage.

Councilors expressed concern about the project, asking Town Attorney Mark Sciota how the difference could be made up.

We have significant overruns now and we havent even started the project, said Republican Councilor Cheryl Lounsbury, adding that she expects more unexpected costs once construction begins.

Sciota said the town could add money to the project through grants, town budgeting or another referendum. He said the town has yet to have a referendum for cost overruns.

Republican council vice chairman Peter Romano asked what drove the incorrect estimates in addition to the firewall and square footages. Palmieri said the committee was still trying to get details from the architects, saying he was unhappy with their communication.

This is the firm that told us it could be done for $85 million, Palmieri said. Were working to try to make this project as affordable as possible. Weve given up things that we didnt necessarily want to give up.

The committee has proposed cuts to the project and is hoping to minimize costs from environmental remediation, according to Palmieri.

On Tuesday, the council also voted unanimously to reduce sewer installation costs to homeowners in the Mount Vernon Road area. Residents were given incorrect sewer assessments and $106,214 from the sewer fund was used to bring the costs down to what residents were originally quoted.

Last month about 40 residents from the area attended the hearing. Several complained that their assessment $94.91 per linear foot was higher than the estimate of between $85 and $90 per linear foot that was given when the project began in 2008.

The New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) is announcing it is hosting the 2013 NZIA Continual Professional Development (CPD) seminars alongside New Zealands leading building and construction industry event, buildnz designex 2013.

Buildnz designex has been running for more than 26 years serving the building, architecture, design and specifier sectors with a biennial three-day exhibition of leading products and services providers, and complimented with seminars for on-going professional training requirements.

Beverley McRae, NZIA Chief Executive says, "It made sense to align our professional development seminars with buildnz designex. Given the large numbers of architect members (and sponsor partners) historically attending this vital industry event, it provides an unequalled opportunity for our members to network with the wider construction industry. Were looking forward to working with the organisers to deliver a lively event for our members and, indeed, the wider industry."

Beverley says that NZIA will be working closely with organisers XPO Exhibitions to arrange two full days of seminars for its members. "Well be delivering a seminar line-up from leading architects, specifiers and build designers across New Zealand and Australia. There is a serious pipeline of work in the build, design and architectural services and the landscape has never been so challenging."

"Consider the issues facing our sector - we have the Christchurch rebuild, the growing lack of supply of new home builds in Auckland, and the nationwide rework addressing leaky buildings - all of these issues on a standalone basis are creating a major challenge for the wider industry in the coming years. Consider also the strong pipeline of commercial build projects, and these are very exciting times for the industry, but also times where we must ensure everyone involved is delivering a world-class standard of work."

The NZIA CPD Days and indeed buildnz designex 2013 will arm the industry with tools, ideas, inspiration and professional training to deliver on that standard.

The NZIA says the co-location is beneficial to share ideas and networking between member architects and builders.

Networking is one area that XPO Exhibitions says it will be looking to improve on with local and central government planning organisations invited to foster better ties between industry and council planning organisations, among others. "We will be approaching major councils and government bodies to be at buildnz designex 2013 to network and talk with members about challenges facing this next phase of growth for the construction and design industries," says XPOs managing director, Brent Spillane. "Organisations already closely aligned to buildnz designex 2013 include the Registered Master Builders Federation, Certified Builders Association of New Zealand, Department of Building and Housing, and BRANZ. The Registered Master Builders Federation hosted its own conference at the last buildnz designex. We had more than 5000 industry professional visits across the three days who were all there to see new product offerings and attend a myriad of professional seminar sessions from leading experts, as well as hearing from industry heads and senior members of parliament.

"Visitor attendance at these seminars and, indeed, the NZIA member attendance to CPD days in 2013, will play an important role in maintaining professional qualifications for these trade professionals."

Other initiatives in 2013 will include:
