"A mammoth feat of construction and collaboration": the Elizabeth line is shortlisted for the Stirling Prize and marked by the judges as "a major infrastructure project that sets a new standard for inner-city transport". Two years after opening, the Elizabeth line continues to be celebrated for its intuitive, effortless and accessible travel environment. The team behind line-wide design played a unique role in developing the strategy that conceptually and functionally binds together the distinct stations along the network and creates an intuitive, enjoyable travel experience. Working across the Elizabeth line the line-wide design team of Grimshaw, Maynard Design Consultancy, AtkinsRéalis and EQUATION Lighting Design was part of a wider Crossrail architectural design team, interfacing with architects across the line’s 10 new stations including John McAslan + Partners, Weston Williamson + Partners, Hawkins\Brown, Aedas, WilkinsonEyre, BDP (Building Design Partnership Ltd), Adamson Associates Architects, Allies and Morrison and Fereday Pollard. The Elizabeth's line is shortlisted along with five other regeneration and restoration projects. "These projects demonstrate the ingenuity and diversity of architecture today, from major national infrastructure to brave and brilliant council-led housing, these varied schemes are united in making sensitive contributions to elevating everyday life... This is purposeful yet unassuming architecture — architecture that brings joy to people's lives and strengthens the fabric of our society." — said RIBA president Muyiwa Oki PRIBA. #RIBAAwards #RIBAStirlingPrize #RIBAAwards2024 #ElizabethLine

Yesterday, the new City and Southwest Metro line M1, a significant component of Australia’s largest infrastructure project, welcomed its first passengers. In the heart of Sydney, Martin Place Metro station is Australia’s first and most fully integrated station design project. Grimshaw is the lead architect for this remarkable new addition to Sydney’s urban fabric, featuring five levels of underground services, retail and hospitality, new pedestrian pathways under the City and a new connection to the existing Sydney Trains network T4 line. The integrated station design comprises two new towers, No. 1 Elizabeth Street by JPW and 39 Martin Place by Tzannes.   Martin Place Metro Station is one of the largest unsolicited proposal projects in Australia. Proposed by Macquarie Group and delivered by Lendlease for Sydney Metro and the Government of New South Wales (NSW Government), the project has taken over six years to realise.    The Sydney Metro network now connects the Northwest through the City to the Southwest. It will eventually include connections to the West and in two years to the new Western Sydney International Airport. Today, Martin Place Metro Station has revealed its urban amenity, transportation efficiencies and considered urban design to an enthusiastic audience of Sydneysiders and commuters from across the City and region. #SydneyMetro #MartinPlaceMetro #UrbanDesign #Infrastructure 

Learning lessons for and from a world-leading transport network — last month Grimshaw welcomed the London Deputy Mayor for Transport Seb Dance with BusinessLDN to our London studio.

In an era where the future of architecture and engineering relies heavily on the fresh perspectives and innovative ideas of the next generation, fostering early interest in these fields is more crucial than ever. The recent design-build workshop at Queens Botanical Garden, a collaboration between SCALE RULE, Grimshaw, schlaich bergermann partner sbp, and the garden itself, exemplifies how hands-on educational initiatives can ignite a passion for design and engineering among high school students. Bringing educational development into real-world application, volunteer practitioners guided the students in designing and constructing a canopy for the garden’s outdoor terrace which served as a display for kokedamas and hanging baskets during the QBG August Orchid Show this past weekend. Lola Sheppard explored the benefits that educational programs like Scale Rule can have for both students and practitioners.

The University of Florida Herbert Wertheim Laboratory for Engineering Excellence has been certified LEED Silver v4 BD+C: New Construction by the U.S. Green Building Council. Wertheim Lab, which Grimshaw designed with The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, Turner Construction Company, Thornton Tomasetti, EYP, and Vanderweil Engineers, is a state-of-the-art research and educational environment, bringing together faculty, undergraduates and graduates in cross-disciplinary ‘collision spaces’ that compel collaboration and innovation. The facility is designed for experiential team-based and problem-based learning, co-locating various departments and institutes of the College of Engineering, amongst them the Computer Engineering department, the Florida Engineering Experiment Station, the Engineering Innovation Institute and the Engineering Leadership Institute. #LEED #USGBC #sustainability 

The transient nature of travel, the functional demands of an airport terminal and the expectations of every passenger: the design of any airport is complex. Six experts from Grimshaw, Haptic Architects, K-STUDIO, Arup, Triagonal - Information Design and Leslie Jones Architecture, identify the influences, insights and integrated approach needed to create terminal buildings that humanise every journey. 'The journey bookends every travel and holiday experience, an integral part of the expectation of what’s to come or the memories of time passed. Within this, the airport, and its terminal buildings, have an obvious role to play but often one that is overlooked...'

One year on from launching an open specification for technology providers, that befits a more collaborative, responsive and creative future, Andy Watts and Aaron Perry report in the AEC Magazine ‘Future of AEC Software: Special Report’ and reiterate their call for the design and construction industry to help shape the future of AEC technology. ‘The general AEC software estate has remained relatively stagnant in terms of efficiency and innovation...something has to change. The specification envisages an ecosystem of tools that are best in class at what they do, overlaid on a unifying data framework.’ Find out more → https://lnkd.in/esrHbTqT Join the collective shaping the AEC specification → https://lnkd.in/gAKDTkqt #AEC #DesignTechnology
