Faith in the community
Article Abstract:
The First Church of Christ Scientist in Richmond, United Kingdom, has been altered by David Chipperfield Architects so that the emphasis is now placed on the congregation rather than the building itself. The main auditorium has been changed so that it offered a smaller and more intimate setting for Christian worship, and a new reading room has been added to the side of the reduced auditorium. The architects decided to keep the entrance to the building formal, although it has been improved to include better lighting in the foyer.

Adjusting space for changing times
Article Abstract:
Buschow Henley has completed three architectural designs involving working environments which will characterise its work and form a standard for future projects. The Media strategist offices use space in a highly original and innovative manner. The company has analysed the working environment in terms of design, and in doing so changed the traditional division of labour approach to group people in logical groupings.
