Abstract

Das Londoner Architekturbüro Wilkinson Eyre Architects, 1983 gegründet, macht seit den 1990er Jahren durch eine Vielzahl innovativer und phantasievoller Bauten auf sich aufmerksam. Ein Schwerpunkt bilden spektakuläre und konstruktiv anspruchsvolle Brücken, zu deren bekanntesten und preisgekrönten die Gateshead Millennium Bridge (2001) und die Floral Street Bridge (2003) gehören. Das Büro hat eine Vielzahl von Preisen gewonnen, darunter zweimal den RIBA Stirling Prize. Mit der Teilnahme an Wettbewerben für den Guangzhou West Tower in China und die Tensegrity Bridge in Washington DC, USA, stellt das Büro seine zunehmend internationale Präsenz unter Beweis. Das Buch dokumentiert etwa 15 Bauten und Projekte ausführlich, wobei die Einbindung in den jeweiligen Kontext von besonderer Bedeutung ist. Zu den vorgestellten Projekten gehören u.a. das Magna Centre in Rotherham, UK, das National Waterfront Museum Swansea, UK, den Guangzhou West Tower, China und die Gatwick Airbridge, UK. The London architectural firm Wilkinson Eyre Architects, founded in 1983, has been drawing attention since the 1990s with its wealth of innovative and imaginative designs - notably its spectacular and structurally ambitious bridges. The best-known and most highly acclaimed are the Gateshead Millennium Bridge (2001) and the Floral Street Bridge (2003). The firm has won many prizes, including the RIBA Stirling Prize twice. It has also demonstrated the increasingly international scope of its activities by entering the competitions for the Guangzhou West Tower in China and the Tensegrity Bridge in Washington DC, USA. This book offers detailed documentation of some 15 structures and projects, with special attention paid to the context of each design. The projects presented include the Stirling Prize-winning Magna Centre in Rotherham, UK; the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea, UK; the Guangzhou West Tower in China; and the Gatwick Airbridge, UK, among others.

Abstract

Nicholas Grimshaw is one of the pre-eminent figures of the British architectural scene. Alongside Norman Foster and Richard Rogers he is a leading figure of the high-tech movement, responsible for some of the outstanding buildings of the last decade. This book covers the years 1965-1988, a period which saw Grimshaw establish his practice and his reputation worldwide as an architect of great subtlety and a master of detail. Colin Amery charts the line of Grimshaw's development from his student days at the Architectural Association onwards. He gives critical insights into Grimshaw's thinking and design methodology for a family of buildings, from the 1967 Service Tower for a student hostel to his 1988 Grand Union Walk houses and Superstore for Sainsbury's at Camden. Grimshaw's buildings show a steady evolution, model to model ; an evolution which is illustrated in detail here with photographs, plans and drawings.
