City of Westminster College : schmidt hammer lassen info excerpt Feb07:
Award-winning Danish architects schmidt hammer lassen have been appointed
by the City of Westminster College to design their new Paddington
Green headquarters. SHLs £90 million design was selected
from around 100 entries across Europe on the basis of its sustainability,
sensitivity to the surrounding urban environment and its inherent
understanding of modern educational requirements.
Situated in the heart of Westminster, the main campus is located on
Paddington Green Park and close to the vibrant streets and transport
links of the Edgware Road. SHLs new design will create a building
that actively engages with its surroundings - voids cut into the buildings
mass reinforcing the perception of a transparent, permeable and inherently
civic building.
