Contemporary Architecture Practice : key Buildings around the World

RMJM - Practice News - 2010 Capital Gate, Abu Dhabi, UAE - most leaning tower in the world image from RMJM architects Capital Gate Abu Dhabi Park Circus, Glasgow, Scotland, UK image from RMJM architects Park Circus Fred Goodwin @ RMJM 15 Jan 2010 The appointment of Sir Fred Goodwin as a consultant at RMJM has already unleashed a wave of negativity. Sir Fred will be advising the practice on international strategy, working closely with their executive team. This is a major appointment - a former heavyweight figure on the world stage. Our inbox is filling rapidly! It's the first appointment the former Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) chief executive has secured since stepping down from RBS after intense criticism. Fred Goodwin's approach to his pension was even attacked by the British Prime Minister. Currently RMJM Architects are the 5th largest architectural firm in the world with operations across five continents (ironically Sir Fred Goowdin built RBS up to be the 5th largest bank in the world) . Along with RMJM's recent 'signing' of architect Will Alsop this shows the studio is flexing its muscles and not afraid to deal with controversy.
