• John Bulcock / Design Unit, MYS: ‘Factory in the Forest’
John Bulcock is a UK registered architect. After starting his own London based practice, his work was selected for the 40 under Forty RIBA exhibition for young architects. Traveling to India in the early 1990’s to both join Balkrishna Doshi in Ahmedabad and to study the work of, in particular, Le Corbusier, Khan and Bawa, he eventually settled in Kuala Lumpur where he remains to date opening his own design studio in 2001. Low energy and sustainable design are central to his philosophy and approach to architecture. He will present the awarded ‘Factory in the Forest’ project a manufacturing plant and office for an electronics company. The entire 20.000 m2 site is conceived as a forest that penetrates, surrounds and steps over the buildings maximising contact with nature.
• Paul Bukeley / Snug Architects, UK: Inhabited Infrastructure – Insights into the award winning Milford-on-sea Beach Huts
Paul is the founding director of Snug Architects and catalyst behind the award-winning design studio. In 2017 the practice was either winner or shortlisted for no less than 11 awards and in 2018 won a coveted Civic Trust Award for the highly innovative Milford-on-Sea Beach Huts. The practice was also selected a Role Model Practice by the Royal Institute of British Architects. Paul is a teaching fellow at Southampton University School of Civil Engineering and the Environment. At SHARE Budapest he presents the Milford-on-Sea Beach Huts project which comprises 119 replacement beach huts and integral sea defences following damage arising from a significant storm event in 2014. The brief was for the project to resist 1 in 200-year storm conditions. The result is an innovative approach to coastal engineering that adds value through design and demonstrates the potential of inhabited infrastructure.
