Come and See - The Beguiling Story of the Tyneside Cinema by Michael Chaplin is launched to celebrate 75 years of the Tyneside Cinema. It unearths some Peter Yates stories of old, both from his time painting the ‘Light and Shadows’ Mural in the Tyneside Cinema’s Electra Theatre in 1976 and from his post war Paris experiences meeting Georges Braque and Le Corbusier among others.

On popping into Beacon House in Whitley Bay, I was surprised and delighted to see the Peter Yates “Processions of Shells” mural still intact and in great condition after almost 50 years !

They have clearly been cherished and decorated around with great care ever since they were painted in 1959.

4.3.2009 : UPDATE ... I am sad to report that after 50 years, the "Shells" Mural has sadly been lost to the evils of Magnolia emulsion.

The first two books (Powell & Moya by Kenneth Powell, and Ryder and Yates by Rutter Carroll) have been well received and are available at a discount via the Society’s website. We asked a selection of architects and designers for their responses to the stories the books tell about post-war British modernism.

Jolyon Yates has gone form designing cars and boats to cutting-edge sculptural furniture. Karen Wilson speaks to the Whitley Bay Designer about his new venture ODEChair. At first glance you'd be forgiven for thinking Jolyon Yates's work was simply sculptural art. But the 41 year-old Designer has managed to fuse form and function perfectly with his stunning curved furniture, which is influenced by the natural world around him. After launching ODEChair last year, his designs has created a buzz among the design world on the internet and been picked up by International design publications, winning a Gold award from Craft&Design Magazine.

Newcastle Journal Live
THE architect Peter Yates once began a lecture with the quote that a city should be “for the convenience of its inhabitants and a surprise to its visitors”.
Well, the Tyneside architectural practice of Peter Yates and Gordon Ryder certainly sprang a few surprises over 30 years from the formation of the partnership in 1953.
Their modernist style produced projects such as the 1965 Norgas House, the first major building in Killingworth New Town in North Tyneside.Two years later they followed up with the award-winning and now listed Engineering Research Station, also in Killingworth, which was later used as offices by North Tyneside Council.
Among Ryder and Yates buildings in Newcastle are MEA House, studios 1 and 5 at the former Tyne Tees TV in City Road, the nearby Salvation Army Men’s Palace overlooking the Tyne and the Vickers factory on Scotswood Road.
The importance of Ryder and Yates has now been recognised by a new book in a series on 20th Century architects by Riba Publishing, English Heritage and the Twentieth Century Society.
Not only is it the first book in the series, but Ryder and Yates is the only practice outside London to be featured.

The Savannah Rocker is starring in the play L’Initiatrice by Pietro Pizzuti. The play, Directed by Guy Theunissen stars the actresses Babetida Sadjo and Florence Crick. It runs from 9th September to 31 October, 2009 at Théâtre Le Public in Brussels, Belgium.

”To explain briefly the context, this chair would be the only piece of theatre set, on a naked stage, with 2 beautiful actresses” describes Assistant Director Cachou Kirsch.

“To one of them, the chair represents the only memory she's kept from her deceased lover, who was a cabinet-maker . So it [The Rocking Chair] is nearly a third character, with a very emotional dimension”.

ODEChair by Jolyon Yates

An ODE is a lyrical poem that pays respect to that which inspired it

The subject of that respect is those who have lent thoughts, inspiration or kindness in the development of these pieces; friends and family, mother nature; the Atlantic Ocean; Northumberland; New Zealand; the rain

Specifically, this ODE is to those that we meet and learn from on our journeys
In a world of loveless volume manufacturing, ODEChair products display soul by reflecting the care and honesty with which they have been conceived and crafted

It was always clear to me that CAD was inextricably linked to my future in design. As a critical element of tomorrow’s design process, I confess it has often frustrated me. Now with 20 or so years experience in design (and CAD), I can confidently state that as a process, it is no longer teething and is an indispensable part of my workflow.

Today, I’m very proud to announce 2 new chairs : the Savannah Rocker Mk III and the Ocean Rocker Mk III

Whilst the Ocean Rocker incorporates only evolutionary changes to construction and finish, revisions to the Savannah Rocker are more significant. Moving to Mk III has provided an opportunity to tidy up several issues with form and construction that had been holding the chair back. I believe the Savannah Rocker has now come of age and I hope you will agree !

The long awaited Ryder and Yates book was finally launched at the RIBA HQ in London last night. A second launch tonight at the newly renovated Tyneside Cinema in Pilgrim Street, Newcastle upon Tyne was enjoyed by perhaps 150 people.

The first ever comprehensive account of the outstanding work of Ryder and Yates has been chronicled in this new book by Tyneside architect Rutter Carroll. Formed by Gordon Ryder and Peter Yates and heavily influenced by Le Corbusier and Berthold Lubetkin, the practice dominated the development of modern architecture in the North East of England from the early 1950s, where their visually astounding modernism put them in stark contrast to their contemporaries.

Also on the night of April the 23rd, Peter Yates’ freshly renovated 1976 mural entitled “Shadows and Light” was unveiled at the newly reopened Tyneside Cinema in Newcastle. “It portrays a potted history of moving pictures, starting with a Victorian zoetrope machine and ending with an Andy Warhol-inspired portrait of Marilyn Monroe”.
