Chapter - front page of AJ

Out today this months copy of Architects Journal presents Cardiff's Chapter Arts Centre on the front cover with a great photo of the handsome 1970's interior treatment in the 'Cwtch' bar which was lovingly designed and created by Angela Gidden & Marc Rees under the Gidden+Rees collaboration.
AJ have featured the project and work by Ash Sakula architects. I [Angela] met with Robert Sakula and AJ's journalist Rory Olcayto to chat about the new Chapter space in all its dimensions and the relaxed collaborative style of working with Robert & Canny of Ash Sakula. Of course AJ predominantly talks about AshSaks' architectural approach to the redevelopment of Chapter but it's good to see that Rory has also highlighted Chapter's culture, it's purpose, it's roots and it's importance as an key arts and community destination. He's also 'ready to go back'!
