This survey of one of the world's leading architecture firms
celebrates three decades of design excellence, environmental sustainability,
and architectural innovation, and explores some fascinating proposals for the
future of the practice.
In the areas of transportation, commercial, recreational, residential, and
educational design, Grimshaw excels at delivering workable spaces that will
serve its clients' needs for years to come. Among the many British projects
featured in this book are the International Railway Terminal for Eurostar
trains at Waterloo, the Eden Project in Cornwall, the Financial Times building
in London Docklands, and the Regional Headquarters for the RAC at Bristol. The
practice has also completed projects in Germany, such as the Frankfurt
Exhibition Hall and VITRA furniture offices; the Ijberg Bridge in Amsterdam;
the Plant Science Center in St Louis; and the Southern Cross Railway Station in
Melbourne, Australia, for which the practice recently won the Lubetkin Prize.
Other projects in Spain, Mexico, and Zurich are included as well. Beautifully
presented, these projects reveal the evolution of a firm that is quickly
growing in influence, and clearly shows that the ideals of economy, sustainability
and integrity continue to inform their work.
