Birds Portchmouth Russum, (established 1989) are a practise of British architects.
Andrew Birds, Richard Portchmouth and Mike Russum left the practise of James Stirling
in 1989 to establish BPR. Significant projects since then include the Chichester Car Park (completed 1991), which brought the practise a number of RIBA awards, and the Plashet Footbridge in North London (2000).
The practice is respected as one of a few genuinely innovative practises in London producing built work, and produce exquisite hand drawn images. The drawings for fantastical schemes for a new Croydon masterplan (1999)and Morecambe's seafront (1991) have become iconic images of the post-Archigram avant-garde within British Architecture and have been widely exhibited and published.

Thenginkalbetta, a twin peak rock hill near Ramanagara. From Ramanagara: go towards Kanakapura (you'll have to go across Bangalore-Mysore railway line). After about 12km, on the right hand side, you can see the road to SRS Betta, take that road. Once you reach SRS Betta, you'll be able to see Thenginkalbetta, another 6km to go. Roads are pretty decent, you can drive a bike or a car upto a small village at the base of the hill. Ask someone from the village to guide you to the hill, village folks are friendly and helpful.
The best time to visit- between September and February when the weather is relatively cool, surrounding is green and lakes are full. Reach the hill early morning - the best time to climb rock hills.
