Diller Scofidio + Renfro to design new V&A Collection and Research Centre in London


The V&A this morning announced the winning team of its competition to design the new Collection & Research Centre planned for Here East in London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park: Diller Scofidio + Renfro, with Austin-Smith:Lord and Studio Adrien Gardère, were selected from a shortlist of five firms which also included 6a, Gareth Hoskins Architects, Haworth Tompkins and AOC as well as Robbrecht en Daem and DRDH.

The new center will widen access to the V&A's vast collection of art and design objects that are not currently on display and provide new spaces for research and learning activities as well as other public programs.

"It is thrilling to contribute to a new wave of rethinking how London's cultural institutions can reconnect to the city - from the Cultural Mile to the developments emerging in Queen Elizabeth Park," DS+R Partner Elizabeth Diller commented upon learning about the competition outcome. 

"We’re excited to start experimenting with the V&A on this new model for collec...

Wood Urbanism: From the Molecular to the Territorial Daniel Ibañez, Jane Hutton, Kiel Moe (Editors) Actar Publishers , November 2019 Hardcover | 8 x 10-1/4 inches | 488 pages | English | ISBN: 978-1945150814 | $54.95 PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION : Wood holds unique and timely lessons for urbanization, yet it remains inadequately characterized in architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism.

Building a gentrification early warning system with big data

[...] neighborhood advocates would have the opportunity to implement policies ranging from reserving affordable housing units to educating residents of their renting rights to helping small businesses negotiate long-term lease extensions. In his NPR piece, astrophysics professor Adam Frank explains how various big data sets, like housing prices, eviction records, census data, or social media usage, can be utilized for "predictive analytics" to detect early onsets of gentrification for specific neighborhoods at an increasingly high resolution — and what significant perils come with it.
