Lecture by Professor CJ Lim: "Dreams & Disillusions"_ Thursday 05.12.2024 _ 1.00-2.00 pm _ Keyworth Centre _ Room K-703 _ Photos by: Spyros Kaprinis [05.12.2024].

CJ Lim is the Professor of Architecture & Urbanism at the Bartlett, UCL, and has authored 12 books including his latest ‘Once Upon a China’ and ‘Dreams + Disillusions’ which continue his interest in architectural storytelling.

‘Dreams + Disillusions’ explores the plethora of ideas and ideologies that have shaped and reshaped architecture and cities in profound ways. Its research fluctuates between the world of concrete reality and the multiple universes that exist in lucid prose, poetic visions, and the outrageous imaginations of history’s most (in)famous minds. The six chapters reveal dreams that underpin the stories of the many urban lives; and how, through circumstance, manipulation, or planned perfection, desires are sometimes left defeated and disillusioned. With 18 illustrated speculative case studies and over 150 drawings, the book presents an abundance of curious imaginings, diverse provocations and satirical criticism.

"Le Corbusier’s Models of Worldmaking"_ London South Bank University _ 21.03.2023 - 06.04.2023 The School of The Built Environment and Architecture at London South Bank University (#LSBU) hosts an international symposium, reconsidering an exhibition of 150+ models of Le Corbusier’s built and unbuilt projects. The Symposium will take place in: Lecture Theatre A, Keyworth Centre, London South Bank University (#LSBU), Keyworth Street, London SE1 6NG. Thursday 30 March 2023, 17:30'-20:30' Registration link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/le-corbusiers-models-of-worldmaking-tickets-592126023877 The exhibition of models is open to the public from 21 March to 06 April 2023 in the foyer of Keyworth Centre, #LSBU.   Since the early 20th century Le Corbusier’s projects have been unavoidable points of reference in architectural knowledge and practice. Their roles, however, have changed historically from avant-garde and polemic statements of icons of the modernist movement, to stigmatised and politically charged constructions, and, in recent years, to contested grounds for reflections on ethical, socially-aware, and ecologically-just practices. His projects, whether built or unbuilt, operate in the tension between architecture imagined and architecture conceived. This space in-between is precisely the quality that turns them into the driving force for progression and reconsideration of the field of architecture. Their discursive, imaginative, and projective qualities have produced socio-spatial imaginaries and expressible fantasies. The symposium celebrates an exhibition of 156 models of Le Corbusier’s built and unbuilt projects proposed for x countries. It brings together researchers, architects, and scholars to revisit Le Corbusier’s Models of Worldmaking examined through various architectural, pedagogical, and theoretical perspectives. The speakers outline a systematic form of enquiry reflecting on key experimental and methodological applications of Le Corbusier’s work, ones that could be catalysts of change or critical reflection on our radically changing profession. Convened by: Dr. Hamed Khosravi and Prof. Igea Troiani. Guest Speakers: Brigitte Bouvier (Director, Fondation Le Corbusier) Prof. Alan Powers (London School of Architecture) Prof. Tim Benton (Open University) Rene Tan (Director, RT+Q) Layton Reid (Visiting Prof. at University of West London).

Guilty Pleasure #22

ELFIE HOPKINS

Dir. RYAN ANDREWS; Wri. RYAN ANDREWS & RiYAD BARMANIA; Music. JORDAN ANDREWS; Starring. JAIME WINSTONE, ANEURIN BARNARD, STEVEN MACKINTOSH, RUPERT EVANS, KATE MAGOWAN, JULIAN LEWIS JONES, KIMBERLEY NIXON, GWYNETH KEYWORTH, WILL PAYNE, RAY WINSTONE, RICHARD HARRINGTON; R.T. 82 mins; 2012, United Kingdom

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: 22-year-old slacker Elfie Hopkins (Jaime Winstone) dreams of escaping her dull life in a small country village, spending her days getting stoned with best friend Dylan (Barnard) and living vicariously through her obsession with noir detectives while spying on her neighbours. Then a new family moves in next door, the seemingly perfect Gammons, and Elfie can’t help digging a little deeper, only to uncover a truly terrifying secret that threatens everything she holds dear.

WHY IT’S GUILTY: This marks the only feature-length offering to date from writer-director Ryan Andrews, and it smells acutely of first-film-indulgence, its creator clearly having thrown EVERYTHING at it in the hopes that something stuck.  As a result it’s a bit of a mess, never quite sure of its tone and therefore continually shifting between satirical black comedy and slowburn creepy cannibal horror, never able to settle.  You can see most of the twists coming from miles away, while there’s real frustration to be found in the fact that this marked the first time Ray Winstone got to work with his little girl on the big screen, and yet he’s barely even in the movie – his character is one of the most interesting here, but he ultimately feels like he’s popping in briefly from another, much better film … in the end this was absolutely PUMMELED by the critics, and suffers a truly ignominious ZERO PERCENT SCORE on Rotten Tomatoes, and I can kind of see what they’re on about – there’s SO MUCH potential here, but by and large Andrews failed to deliver …

WHY IT’S A PLEASURE: And yet, there IS some good stuff here if you’re willing to dig and you don’t mind the smell too much.  (Sorry … couldn’t resist that one.)  Jaime Winstone is DEFINITELY one of the film’s major saving graces – in her hands, Elfie is a playful, snarky little minx who SHOULD come across as irritatingly self-centred and intrusive but is in fact such an adorably stubborn little busybody you can’t help liking her; it also helps ENORMOUSLY that Aneurin Barnard (Hunky Dory, Citadel, Dunkirk) is SO lovable as Dylan, a shy, down-to-earth, geeky genius who provides a strong grounding anchor to keep Elfie from getting TOO full of herself.  And then there’s Rupert Evans (Hellboy, The Man in the High Castle, the new Charmed series), not so much chewing the scenery as furiously devouring it as the head of the Gammon household, seductively suave one minute and downright TERRIFYING the next – films live or die by their villains, and in this regard at least this one of truly blessed.  Winstone Sr. is also typically brilliant in his frustratingly brief role, and at least he does get to play ONE cracking scene (definitely one of the film’s actual HIGHLIGHTS) with his daughter.  There are also moments of genius scattered amidst the more clunky material, Andrews occasionally showing glimmers of genuine talent that make you hope he can get his act together sometime with something genuinely GOOD, while the film is often genuinely enjoyable when Winstone and Barnard get together, and things do finally kick into gear in the last half hour once the Gammons’ nasty little secret finally comes to light.  Shame it takes so long to get there, really. Ultimately, there’s a lot wrong with this film, but there’s enough right that you might enjoy yourself if you’re willing to just GO WITH IT …

Reflective journal week 2.

Evaluate your performance this week. What have you done well? What are you proud of? What really sticks out as something interesting you learned this week? What do you need to improve on?

On Monday I worked on my pitch and I also looked for interview subjects. I contacted a youth worker at Keyworth Young People’s Centre for an interview the C card scheme. I was really proud of how much I got done on Monday. 

On Tuesday I filled in my preparing for your pitch doc on google classroom and I also contacted three girls from my course ( Emily, Em and Stacey ) about being in my documentary to talk about their knowledge on contraception and their experience with sex education at school. 

On Wednesday I contacted some more people to talk about whether the government has failed young people on the topic of Sex Education in Schools. And on Friday I went into college for Sarah’s editing lesson to edit my Breaking the taboo around abortion documentary and I think that this edit is much better. 

What problems have you encountered with the project this week? How did you solve them/how will you solve them in the future?

The only problems I have encountered with the project this week has been access to interviews. Catherine Kirk has told me she can support me and I’m waiting on her to see when she’s available for an interview. I’m also waiting on the youth worker Chris because he had to get permission from his C Card scheme leader.  

What are your aims for next week? Be specific!

My aims for next week is to give a great pitch on my documentary idea and to have my interviews secured. 

Another aim of mine is to continue being productive especially with the Easter break coming soon I know there will be days where I want to procrastinate but to keep on top of everything I need to keep working.

Brief: Stimulus Project 1: Still/Moving

- Worked in a group of four : Gabby, Me, Lewis and Tammy

- In pairs, we worked separately to produce our own “locked-off image” to then be shown simultaneously on the projectors 

- I worked with Gabby on this, we filmed in central (in and around Oxford Circus) and then we went back to the Keyworth labs to edit the video

- As we were paired up, other pair had not seen what Gabby and I had produced, the only thing they knew was our audio. The outcome was by chance and a risk as we didn’t know whether it would work or know if it would ever fit together. During the process of editing we switched audios to play over our video,  the other pair had our audio of the busy, noisy area of central London and we had their audio of the countryside: birds, wind, dogs, leave rustling etc

The change of sounds created an oxymoron: the sounds of the countryside over the top of the hectic visuals from the centre of London.

New comedy about pupil barristers fighting over tenancy to hit BBC screens

Actors from Black Mirror, The IT Crowd and Game of Thrones star

A new comedy about pupil barristers learning the criminal law ropes has been commissioned by BBC Two. Cast members include Katherine Parkinson (The IT Crowd, Humans), Gwyneth Keyworth (Black Mirror, Game of Thrones) and Prasanna Puwanarajah (Doctor Foster, Silk).

The TV programme, Defending The Guilty, follows bright-eyed young pupil Will (pictured far left), as he attempts to navigate through criminal law practice with the help of his pupil master, Caroline (pictured middle left).

Will isn’t the only pupil at his set, and it seems his fellow trainee barristers are more than happy to stab each other in the back as they all vie for the one tenant position on offer. This storyline may resonate with aspiring barristers who know all too well how competitive the profession can be: this year, 2,089 bar hopefuls submitted at least one application via the Pupillage Gateway, which hosted just 224 pupillage spots.

The 2018 Chambers Most List

Shane Allen, controller of BBC Comedy Commissioning, says that “a terrifically vibrant and sure-footed pilot” made the decision to take Defending The Guilty to full series “very quick and easy”. He continued:

“There’s a very universal theme of having high ideals when entering this professional world versus the cold hard, cloak and dagger reality of how the legal profession truly operates.”

Defending The Guilty is based on a book of a similar name by criminal barrister Alex McBride, called Defending the Guilty: Truth and Lies in the Criminal Courtroom. McBride tells Legal Cheek:

“I am delighted and stunningly lucky to have ‘Defending the Guilty’ adapted by the brilliant Kieron Quirke and Big Talk Productions. It sure beats pleading cases in the criminal courts.”

He may be right about that one: shortly after McBride’s book was released, he wrote an article for Legal Cheek in which he admitted he would advise his younger self against the career path he chose. “The criminal bar can’t offer much at all,” sole practitioner McBride said, “if you want to own a flat — forget London — or have a middle class, professional lifestyle, you are in for a long wait.” We wonder whether Will the pupil will feel the same way after his training.
