British architecture
Is a world leader in pushing the boundaries of design, technology and sustainability. From the neo-futuristic curves of Zaha Hadid to the organic and imaginative works of Thomas Heatherwick, to the high-tech, environmentally friendly structures of Norman Foster, this exhibition shows how British architects have redefined the built environment. It highlights how these architects have not only created buildings, but have transformed the way we live, work and interact with our environment, setting new standards of innovation in the 21st century and building cities for people.
Exponents of British architecture
This exhibition presents the evolution and impact of British architecture through four visionary architects: Thomas Heatherwick, Zaha Hadid, Norman Foster y Elsie Owusu. Each architect, in its own way, represents how British design thinking has continually adapted and innovated through the ages, breaking traditional moulds and redefining the relationship between form and function.
The exhibition explores how British architecture not only construct buildings, but solves social challenges, addresses environmental issues, and conceives spaces where art, technology and gender intersect. Diversity, sustainability and the representation of decentralized nations are key to our project, so we highlight works and architectural practitioners that represent this vision. Visitors can interact with photographs, models, sketches, digital renderings and immersive installations (360° model through a hologram), understanding how these architects transformed the way we experience architecture.
