On Tuesday, 18th May 2010, a visit to Cottrell Vermeulen was organized in the objectives of learning the way an architecture practice works. Based in Elephant and Castle, it has been at least 20 years since the year it was founded.
Explaining the whole system of the practice. The interesting fact about the practice is that they have long-term plans clients which is an unusual scenario for a modern society in terms of architecture.
Demands were always on top of list, but the practice has an ongoing contract with a client spanning almost over 15 years. Major part of the contract was about developing and until now, it keeps on growing.
Model making is a key phase in the practice's approach towards a design project. Plus, they are all hand made like how students do their models with cardboards and grey boards. They believe that this method would benefit creative engagement towards parts of a design.
Collages were still a widely used approach in the practice
