“Creativity means freedom” — Hew Locke For the third RIBA + Grimshaw Foundation Annual Art Lecture, we were joined by the acclaimed Guyanese-British sculptor and contemporary artist, Hew Locke, in conversation with writer and curator, Ekow Eshun. In this video, Hew Locke, Ekow Eshun, and some fantastic students from Westminster City School reflect on the impact that art and the world around us has on creativity, sharing insights into their own work, and inspiration for the future. This lectures series continues to engage and have a significant impact on young people, helping them to navigate their career paths and future goals, supported by the ongoing programmes led by the Foundation. #Creativity #ArtisticInfluence #HewLocke #EkowEshun #RIBA #GrimshawFoundation #ArtLecture

Auckland Airport has recently made a short video on the commencement of vertical construction on the main building of the new domestic terminal. This is an important milestone in one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most significant infrastructure projects.   Grimshaw is proud to have led the architectural design for the transformation of Auckland Airport in close collaboration with Jasmax. We are part of a wider consortium led by Mott MacDonald which also includes Holmes Aus & NZ, Maynard Design Consultancy and Worley.

On Monday 17 March, we will partner with MECLA to feature Minoro, the online tool created by Grimshaw in collaboration with the WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development to help people achieve embodied carbon savings along a project lifecycle. Minoro directs stakeholders across the construction project phases towards resources and guidance that can help achieve lower carbon outcomes. Paul Toyne will give a quick introduction to the tool before MECLA Senior Project Manager Kathy Verheyen demonstrates how it can be used. Also at this on-line session, MECLA’s Alexander Barnstone will launch the MECLA Australian State-of-Play, a briefing on Australian federal and state policy and strategy and Australian guidance documents.

Dans le cadre de la série d’interviews ‘Design & Matériaux — Paroles d’Experts’ par Intramuros et Atlas Concorde Alice Barrois et Hélène Duault ont rejoint Frédéric Marty pour discuter de l'approche de l'agence dans le choix des matériaux dans la conception de nos projets à travers différents exemples — comment intégrer des solutions innovantes, répondre aux exigences environnementales, aux ambitions esthétiques et aux attentes des usagers. « Il y a un équilibre à trouver entre l’usage qu’on apporte, la durée d’un ouvrage d’art par exemple — à condition qu’il soit bien sûr maintenu sur le long terme — et le bénéfice apporté à la collectivité et l’espace public. Cette question de la temporalité est nécessaire dans le choix d’un matériau. » Bien que de nouveaux matériaux soient en cours de développement, notamment en réponse aux défis climatiques, Alice et Hélène pensent qu’il est nécessaire de comprendre comment bien les utiliser en fonction de chaque projet. Elles se sont appuyées sur différent exemples : les exigences de longévité et de pérennité de la ligne Elizabeth à Londres et de la passerelle Robert Poujade à Toulouse, l'intégration d’un nouveau bâtiment de laboratoire au Dulwich College à Londres, classé au patrimoine, et la réhabilitation de l'usine Herman Miller en Ecole d’Art et de Design à Bath.

Grimshaw has joined over 40 like-minded organisations as part of the Net Zero Bridges Group, an organisation formed in 2021 to accelerate progress towards net zero carbon bridge design. We know that bridges are critical assets within our transport networks, creating access to more active and sustainable travel. Their function demands a considered approach, integrating the physical form sensitively into the fabric of our cities and across different regions, reducing their environmental impact while maintaining safety and meeting economic and social needs. With over 30 years experience designing and delivering bridges, across the world, Grimshaw most recently celebrated the completion of Robert Poujade Bridge in Toulouse, France; Port Lands Bridges in Toronto, Canada; Neville Bonner Bridge in Brisbane, Australia; and Newport Station Bridge in Wales in the UK. Our expertise will contribute to the action, research and benchmarking through this network of bridge specialists. #bridgedesign #cities #activetravel #netzerodesign
