The Offer
Pidgeon Digital is a new project to provide complete digitisation of the
Pidgeon Audiovisual Collection of illustrated talks by architects and
related designers, which is a unique library of contemporary attitudes to
the built environment by those who have influenced it most.
Started in 1979 by Monica Pidgeon, the purpose of the series, which
currently consists of over 200 illustrated talks, is to widen the horizons
of students of architecture and design by giving them the opportunity to
share the thinking of leading members of the profession to whom they might
otherwise not have access.
This includes speakers such as:
Architects: Will Alsop, Edward Cullinan, Terry Farrell, Norman Foster, Frank
Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Kisho Kurokawa, Oscar Niemeyer, Jean Nouvel, Gaetano
Pesce, Richard Rogers, Harry Seidler, Bernard Tschumi, Michael Webb
Engineers: Anthony Hunt, Ted Happold, Frei Otto, Peter Rice
Landscape architects: Roberto Burle Marx, Kathryn Gustafson, Lawrence
Halprin, Peter Jakobsen
Designers: Ron Arad, Roberto Burle Marx, Alan Fletcher, FHK Henrion,
Pidgeon Digital also includes speakers who have died since being recorded,
but who continue to have a lasting influence, e.g.:
Architects: R Buckminster Fuller, Serge Chermayeff, Maxwell Fry, Philip
Johnson, Denys Lasdun, Cedric Price, A & P Smithson, James Stirling;
Engineers: Felix Candela, Ted Happold, Frank Newby, Peter Rice, Konrad
Wachsmann;
Landscape architects: R Burle Marx, Geoffrey Jellicoe, Peter Shepheard.
The collection will be launched with the 220 illustrated talks currently
available but at least 6 new ones will be added per year. The first three
NEW illustrated talks, are by Mark Dytham, of Klein Dytham, Chris Wilkinson
& Jim Eyre, and the Uruguayan-American architect Rafael Vinoly.
Future participants include Will Alsop, Cecil Balmond, Jeremy Dixon + Ed
Jones, Foreign Office Architects, and Renzo Piano.
