Grimshaw Architects (formerly Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners) is an architectural firm based in London. Founded in 1980 by Nicholas Grimshaw, the firm was one of the pioneers of high-tech architecture.[1] In particular, they are known for their design of transport projects including Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA railway station, Waterloo International railway station and the award-winning Southern Cross railway station which was the recipient of the Royal Institute of British Architects Lubetkin Prize.[2] Grimshaw is behind the design of the Sustainability Pavilion, an innovative net-zero building, for Expo 2020.[3] The firm currently has offices in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, Dubai, Melbourne and Sydney, employing over 600 staff.

Controversy

In October 2019, UK publications Construction News and Architects' Journal published a joint investigation into fatalities at Istanbul Airport - nicknamed by workers "the cemetery" as so many have died. By this point, the official death toll was 55, but unofficial estimates suggested the figure could "be higher than 400".[10] Grimshaw was one of four architects employed on the airport's design, three of them UK-based (the other two were Scott Brownrigg and Haptic Architects). As concept architects, Grimshaw ceased working on the project before the construction phase, and voiced shock and sadness about what it described as the "alarmingly high number" of subsequent deaths.[10]

Exhibitions

Grimshaw's first exhibition titled Product + Process debuted in 1988. The firm has since produced four exhibitions: Structure Space + Skin (1993), Fusion [11] (1998), Equilibrium[12] (2000), and Micro to Macro: Grimshaw in New York [13] (2007). The latest exhibition, Equation: Design Inspired by Nature, launched on Wednesday, 20 February 2013 at The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) Centre in Singapore. Equation explores a series of themes that investigate biomimicry, biophilia and ecosystems and their influence on design.[14]
