The Royal Observatory Greenwich is celebrating its 350th anniversary with the announcement of its new architecture and landscape.
Jamie Fobert Architects, with a brilliant design team including FFLO, Purcell, Max Fordham and Price & Myers, has been tasked with considering how best to add to this important historic site to better welcome visitors, give clarity to the visitor journey and to create galleries where the full story of time and space can be revealed. Over the past 6 months, the project has achieved Planning Permission from the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Listed Building Consent and Scheduled Monument Consent, and the project has been reviewed by UNESCO and ICOMOS.
Pictured is the Astronomers’ Court, a new multi-functional space for exhibitions and ‘science busking’. Read more about the project here.
