Museum of London at Smithfield Market

Tuesday 16 August 2016

Stanton Williams and Asif Khan, the team behind the competition-winning scheme to create a new home for the Museum of London, give a breakfast talk at New London Architecture. The winning scheme, chosen from a shortlist by a panel including Simon Jenkins (who praised the process as the best he has ever seen), puts temporary and permanent collections underground beneath ‘expressed arches’, where other ideas at this stage include creating an aperture to allow visitors to see passing underground trains.

This event took place on Friday 12 August.
