The second episode of The Architects Series has been displayed on April 2018 in Milano and it's about Sir Nicholas Grimshaw, founder of Grimshaw Architects.
The studio, with headquarters in New York, Melbourne, Sydney, Kuala Lumpur, London and Doha, employs over 500 collaborators, won over 200 international awards, and boasts an exceptional portfolio, covering all major sectors of architecture.
Exploring, inventing, imagining and believing in the transforming power of architecture are the basis of this renowned international practice. Based in every continent, its offices are symbols of innovation and culture, laboratories of ideas capable to grasp the essence, challenges, opportunities and potentialities of every single project.
The result is the creation of an organic architecture where shapes correspond to materials and vice versa, and of systems based on green integration, combining natural elements, green spaces and sustainable strategies.
The Architects Series - A documentary on: Grimshaw enters the New York headquarters of the studio, where partners William Horgan and Mark Husser, along with Associate Principal Casimir Zdanius and Nick Solomon will guide the viewers through the prototype laboratory, the showroom and the offices, telling how these historical headquarters evolved through time and describing their current and past projects.
The opening event will host Andrew Whalley, Deputy Chairman of Grimshaw, who will take part in a conversation entitled “Equation”, in which he will analyse the critical role of architects in the design of sustainable spaces through the case history of the Sustainability Pavilion of Expo 2020 Dubai.
Sustainability is one of the features that differentiates and characterises the Grimshaw Studio: since its creation, its founders have always invested in the experimentation of alternative materials and innovative technologies, creating new architectural visions, with a distinguished and cutting-edge design.
This commitment towards the environment and a greener world is what Grimshaw share with Iris Ceramica Group: indeed, the Group and its brands have always invested in the research of solutions that meet green standards to protect the environment and the individual and collective wellbeing.
