Haworth Tompkins has been appointed to design a £10m refurbishment of Royal Competition Corridor at the Southbank.
The Stirling Prize-winning apply will paintings with the Southbank Centre on plans to adopt infrastructure upkeep on the grade I-listed arts venue, which was once constructed for the Competition of Britain in 1951.
The works will focal point on changing aging material to enhance thermal efficiency and effort potency, acoustic efficiency and long-term resilience, consistent with the apply.
The appointment follows the award of £10m in investment from the Arts Council England and the Division for Tradition, Media and Recreation and is a part of a much broader sequence of initiatives marking the Southbank Centre’s seventy fifth anniversary.
Different initiatives come with Woods Bagot’s retrospective exhibition on 50 years of skateboarding within the undercroft house of Queen Elizabeth Corridor.
The exhibition, referred to as Skate 50, opened this week and can run till 21 June.
