The new entrance to Natural History Museum is now complete and open to the public. The two new planters to the NHM entrance are now populated with Macaronesian plants. Some of these have been grown in a dedicated space at Kew Gardens over the last several months. To view the full press release please click here.
The practice has been awarded the BPCF 2012 Creativity in Concrete Award for their treatment of the facade for the Athletes’ Housing Block N15 within the Olympic Village. The precast cladding panels sample fragments of the Elgin Marbles, which were scanned digitally from the British Museum in London. The scans were used to make fibreboard positives using a 5-axis router, which then became the formwork for the latex moulds from which the panels were cast.
