Involving the demolition and redevelopment of 44 Lincoln’s Inn Fields, the LSE brief calls for world-class architecture so that its estate can be commensurate with its global academic reputation. As part of the design process LSE held a mid-competition design workshop with each of the teams to ensure they understood the brief clearly.
The teams shortlisted in the School’s third RIBA design competition (in alphabetical order) are:-
- AL_A, London
- David Chipperfield Architects, London
- Diller Scofidio + Renfro with Penoyre & Prasad, New York & London
- Grafton Architects, Dublin, Ireland
- Herzog & de Meuron Architects, Basel, Switzerland & London
- Niall McLaughlin Architects + Scott Brownrigg, London
As part of the consultation and decision making process, a public exhibition of the six design concepts is being held in LSE's multi award winning Saw Swee Hock Student Centre, Sheffield Street WC2A 2AP between 02–17 March 2016
All visitors, whether associated with LSE or not, will be able to vote for their favourite design – although the identity of each architect is deliberately being kept anonymous. For further information and to vote please visit the LSE 44LIF Public Exhibition. The results will inform the final selection process.
