London Legacy Development Corporation’s regeneration of east London at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is one of the most ambitious urban renewal programmes in Europe. It forms the legacy of the hugely-admired London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Mayor of London’s ‘Olympicopolis’ plan envisages, within this regeneration, a new Culture and Education Quarter which creates a unique arts-education-science-technology nexus in the capital.
The V&A, Sadler’s Wells, University of the Arts London and a fourth partner will bring their international reputations and diverse expertise to this Culture and Education Quarter – the subject of this competition. The Quarter will provide these institutions with the physical space and the impetus to explore novel and experimental work. It also promises to become a leading residential district within London, benefiting from the ambience of a creative and prestigious destination.
The site for this new cultural entity on Stratford Waterfront is spectacular. Positioned at the gateway to the Park, it is surrounded by landmarks: the dramatic ArcelorMittal Orbit, the multi-award winning London Aquatics Centre, the South Park Plaza and the Stadium.
The design and civic qualities of the Quarter will shape both local and international perceptions of the Park and capture the transforming identity of east London.
This competition seeks a multi-disciplinary design team of the highest quality, which can realise the project’s objectives and relate to the client and the partner ensemble.
Expressions of Interest by 2 pm UK time October 17, 2014 please. This is a two-stage, international design competition. Initially Expressions of Interest are sought. Following the first stage, five teams will be shortlisted for the second stage.
