Notes to Editors Architects: Stanton Williams Stanton Williams is an award winning international architectural practice based in London. The firm has developed its portfolio from an initial focus on museums and galleries towards a wide variety of projects, all of which demonstrate the practice’s over-arching objective of putting the user’s experience of space, light and materials at the forefront of the agenda. Projects include: Tower Hill, the recently completed Sainsbury Laboratory in the University of Cambridge’s botanical gardens and the Hackney Marshes Centre. Current projects include: the Stadtmuseum Berlin, the Grand Musée d’Art de Nantes and the Eton Manor site for the London Olympics 2012. “It has been a privilege to work on such an ambitious scheme that will bring life back to the Granary Complex. Our design draws inspiration from the ambition and scale of its Victorian architectural setting and introduces a strong contemporary intervention that celebrates the juxtaposition of old and new in its detailing. The thought of 4,000 students inhabiting this once redundant and isolated building on a daily basis is breathtaking. Our consistent aim has really been to create a stage for transformation, a framework of spaces that can be orchestrated and transformed over time by staff and students where new interactions and interventions, chance and experimentation can create that slip-steam between disciplines. The coming together of all the schools of Central Saint Martins will open up that potential.” Paul Williams Press Contact Meike Stockmann Marketing & Communications Manager m.stockmann@stantonwilliams.com Tel: 020 7880 6453 www.stantonwilliams.com © 2011 6
