Museum of the Moving Image, South Bank Arts Centre, London

Museum of the Moving Image
This world famous museum - MOMI - was built under a fast-track ‘design, manage and construct’ contract. The funding came from private donations, sufficient at commencement for a simply serviced shell covering 3,716 sqm. The design had to have the flexibility to grow incrementally during the construction process.

BFI London IMAX Cinema, South Bank Centre, Southwark, London, UK
1999

BFI London IMAX Cinema
This 500-seat large screen IMAX cinema was built for the British Film Institute (BFI). It is by far the largest screen in Britain, and one of the biggest in the world. This area of the South Bank had long been notorious for crime and rough sleeping but it has been transformed into a lively landscaped pedestrian oasis with a café and a huge new public artwork by the internationally renowned fine artist Howard Hodgkin.

1 Neathouse Place, Wilton Rd / Vauxhall Bridge Rd, Victoria, southwest London
1997
No 1 Neathouse Place

1 Neathouse Place
Commissioned by Chesterfield Properties, No1 Neathouse Place was a major reconstruction of a redundant 1960s office block near London’s Victoria Station. The main challenge was that the floor-to-floor heights of the existing structure were well below the standard required for modern air-conditioned offices.

Royal Academy of Dramatic Art Project, Bloomsbury, central London
2000
RADA Building

Royal Academy of Dramatic Art

Avery Associates Book

Fragments of Wilderness City
by Bryan Avery

Fragments of Wilderness City reviews the work of renowned architect Bryan Avery.

Authors: Edwin Heathcote, Joseph Rykwert, Mathew Teague, Richard Weston, John Worthington

"Avery Associates Architects have worked in close collaboration with a diverse range of clients, including universities, commercial developers, government organisations, and charitable trusts. Fragments of Wilderness City presents perspectives from academics and architecture historians, exploring projects in India and the Middle East; major cultural commissions such as the IMAX cinemas in London and Dubai, the National Film Theatre, the Museum of the Moving Image, London Transport Museum, and the Royal Academy of the Dramatic Arts' headquarters in Bloomsbury, London; masterplanning work for Oxford Street in London, The Horniman Museum, and the Avenue of the Emirates in Abu Dhabi. Alongside profiles of their innovative work in product design and within the workplace is an essay by director Bryan Avery, providing insights into his notion of the sustainable 'wilderness city'.

This manifesto sets out a vision of an accountable architectural and planning approach to the contemporary city, situated in a natural landscape and taking on board references to both the walled cities of the medieval period and the self-contained urban environments of the twentieth century 'new towns'. Fully illustrated with photographs, plans, and technical and conceptual drawings, this volume will appeal to all those interested in architectural innovation at every scale, from planning to design to sustainable developments."
