Training Testimonial

" Our small architectural practice has been using Vectorworks for many years – not very efficiently it turns out with each of us adopting our own habits! Jonathan organised installation of our update and then came to our office for a day to begin to organise us. We all felt nervous and daunted by what he would think of our ‘inabilities’, but he made it such fun. What patience he had. We’re still not sure how he managed to make the experience relevant to all individuals – magic we suspect. We will certainly be asking him back for further training when we have got to grips with more efficiently processing our work in a new way."

Tina Gough, Partner, Spence and Dower

Spence & Dower Featured Project

​The Vicar’s Pele, Market Place, Corbridge
This C14th building is the best-known and best-preserved of the vicars’ peles of Northumberland, standing on the side of the Churchyard of St. Andrew’s Church. This historically important building with 1.4m thick walls, is both Grade I Listed and a Scheduled Monument. It was constructed mainly from Roman ashlar stone blocks, robbed from Hadrian’s Wall.
​
It is a small building but a good example of our work in combining modern design in association with highly significant historic buildings – and bringing them back into use.
Our client purchased the building with a view to opening the building to the public, and in particular for use as a wedding venue. We have inserted a new steel and structural glass second floor viewing platform, which enables the roof construction to be clearly seen and provides views from windows at this level – enjoyed for the first time in over 300 years. The notable ‘Vicar’s bookrest’ can also now be seen from close quarters.

SPENCE & DOWER
If the architectural press is full of the clamour of competing and ‘self-conscious innovation’ – we are not there. All design is by its nature exploratory and must search for a balance between enabling a building to work and ordering its form to please. Our aim is that good quality design should shine through the patient satisfaction of this balance and give delight to owners, other users and those who pass by. All our projects relate to the specific sites and environments to which they belong.
​

As Chartered Architects and Historic Building Consultants our interests are broad ranging but we consider ourselves specialists in a full range of historic building work, contemporary design, particularly within sensitive locations, masterplanning and community based building projects.

Last month, teams spanning borders and times zones raced against the clock for 48 hours to flex their BIM and design muscles through Build Earth Live’s Hyperloop competition. Organized by Asite, the annual competition raises awareness of cloud-based working, international developments in interoperability, and how new technology is revolutionizing construction. With 65 teams made up of 250 designers from 29 countries participating, this year’s event focused on designing termini stations connecting Dubai and Fujairah, which would reduce travel time between the two cities to less than 10 minutes at 10 percent of the cost of conventional high-speed trains. An extra incentive for this year’s teams is that the United Arab Emirate (UAE) government is considering building one of the Hyperloop designs in the near future.

The final judging took place in Dubai, where two representatives from each of the seven finalist teams presented their design to a judges’ panel and live audience. As headline sponsor of the event, we are excited to congratulate the winning teams. Additional sponsors include the Dubai Future Foundation, Hyperloop One, and Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority.
“We’re incredibly honored to sponsor a BIM competition with a true multidisciplinary approach at its core,” said Jeremy Powell, director of product marketing at Vectorworks. “The Build Earth Live Hyperloop competition this year had fantastic results from all the teams and showcased a series of entries that demonstrated the great possibilities that exist when design teams collaborate with several fantastic software programs in an openBIM workflow.”
​
As previously mentioned, Build Earth Live recognized the efforts of multiple teams. While team Mobius took home the overall award this year, team BIM Unlimited also received praise for their collaborative effort, winning the award for Best Multi-Disciplinary BIM & Use of Interoperability. Additional awards included Discretionary awards won by team HyperNova and Future Architects, team BIM Fusion’s BIM for Sustainability or Constructability award, team rLoop’s Best use of BIM for Design, Drama, and Excitement award, and team Hyper Poland’s BIM for Innovation award. You can explore the full list of individuals that make up the winning Build Earth Live teams here.
