The café pavilion that we designed in collaboration with Peter Brett Associates for Jesus College Cambridge has been shortlisted in the Structural Awards 2017. Now in it’s 50th year, the Structural Awards celebrate the world’s most outstanding structural engineering achievements, celebrating excellence through exemplary engineering solutions. Winners will be announced on the 17th November.
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.
