The leader of the design team for the London 2012 Velodrome, Mike Taylor is a senior partner at Hopkins Architects, founded by Michael Hopkins in 1976. The firm, renowned as pioneers of prefabricated, lightweight, and sustainable architecture, is "guided by deeply-rooted architectural, environmental, and social convictions." The design practice focuses on integrating advanced design, craft, and sustainable solutions-from early conceptual designs through construction.
In addition to his role at Hopkins Architects, Taylor has lectured and tutored regularly at United Kingdom schools of architecture and has taught a postgraduate design course at Yale University.

LESSONS FROM MODERNISM:
Environmental Design Considerations in 20th Century Architecture,
1925 - 1970
|
Opening Reception
JAN 29, 2013
6:30-8:30pm
|
Lessons From Modernism examines selected works of architecture completed between 1925-1970 through the lens of sustainability. Through an analysis of the influence of nature and the environment in architectural design, Lessons From Modernism provides new insights into works achieved by a diverse selection of architects, including Le Corbusier, Paul Rudolph, Jean Prouv� and Oscar Niemeyer. The exhibition demonstrates how these architects integrated environmental concerns into their designs and explores the extent to which these practices have produced environmentally performative and distinctive architecture.
