Bennetts Associates
Exhibition - Edinburgh College of Art
5 – 21 Oct 2006
Following the success of the exhibition held last year at the RIBA, Bennetts
Associates is holding a second exhibition at the Edinburgh College of
Art, a stone’s throw from the firm’s Edinburgh office on the
edge of The Meadows.
The exhibition named 10 Projects: Bennetts Associates will be presented
in the grand Neo Classical Sculpture Court which was designed exclusively
for the appreciation of art, architecture and the ornament. The exhibition
traces the evolution of the practice by examining 10 prominent projects
and how they connect with the rest of the firm's work past and present.
Two new projects have been added since the RIBA show: The Royal Shakespeare
Theatre, presented to the public in June, and a previously unpublished
scheme, City Inn Amsterdam.
Well known completed buildings, such as Hampstead Theatre, Wessex Water
Operations Centre and Brighton Central Library are displayed alongside
two projects now on site, the Potterrow Development for the University
of Edinburgh and New Street Square, a substantial new office development
for Land Securities that is changing the skyline in the City of London.
The exhibition traces the origins of recurring themes - the use of space
and circulation, the integral role of engineering and construction, the
analytical nature of the design process - to show how a consistent rigour
is applied across an exceptionally wide range of building-types with presence
and sensitivity.
