    Local firm beats out international competition?! Well, not here.

    Nope, in Belfast where local Belfast firm Hackett + Hall Architects romped out the competition of more then 100 international firms for the prize of designing the Belfast Metropolitan Arts Center which will replace the Old Museum Arts Centre.

    The competition was organized by the Royal Institute of British Architects.

    I could easily take the time and effort to state some observations about local firms being turned away from projects, or very seclusive RFP (request for proposal) invitations, or even how some institutions constantly run interesting competitions in order to attract the best design work.

    But I won't, I am too busy packing stuff up. TOIstudio should be moving to new actual physical digs soon which will hopefully include some interesting studio and gallery space. Keep your peepers peeled for an update. Lots of work to do!
