3x3 Private View
On Friday 17 June at 6pm the very successful opening of the Academy’s first ever exhibition solely dedicated to architecture took place at the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh. The Private View of the exhibition titled 3×3 saw the Findlay Room at the RSA packed with guests eager for a first look at the work on display by the three featured practices – Gareth Hoskins Architects, Reiach & Hall Architects and Sutherland Hussey Architects, the principals of which practices are the three most recent RSA academicians. The show provided a rare opportunity for three of Scotland’s leading design firms to work together and in addition to the exhibition itself there is an accompanying box-set of three small books, available through the RSA, which includes an introduction by Hugh Pearman, texts on and images of the featured projects from each practice. An introductory speech at the opening was kindly delivered by sculptor Bill Scott.
The exhibition runs until 24 July, entry is FREE .
RSA opening times are Mon-Sat 10am-5pm, Sun 12-5pm
