The pumping station, operational since January, is one of the essential utility facilities for the London Olympics 2012.

 

As of next week JLA will feature in 3 exhibitions across London at the same time – The Royal Academy Summer Show, 50 years of London Architecture 1960-2010 and Architects at Le Cafe Anglais: a new perspective.

 

The Thames Tunnel

17 Jun 2010

John Lyall Architects have prepared a series of quick sketch visualisations for Thames Water for their proposed Thames Tunnel project – a massive engineering undertaking to make the river Thames cleaner. The project – due to start construction in 2013 – involves a new tunnel 20 miles long at a depth of 75m below central London.

 

These sketch designs were produced to help Thames Water select the team for their marketing and visualisation work. JLA is on the shortlist to provide the architectural design when the project begins… planning applications are due to be submitted in 2012.

Collaboration in Practice

10 Jun 2010

John Lyall Architects are working in collaboration with Sarah Wigglesworth Architects on the design of a new school in East London: the local authority need to build a totally new primary school by September 2011. This deadline is challenging;  so too is the compact  site - a small clearing at the heart of a large new housing development.

 

The two practices both have a wealth of design experience in their own right - but in collaboration can offer the client the resources of a bigger team, while still retaining consistently high quality and flexibility. These are the core qualities of the consortium Architects4Education.
