The Architecture Foundation's Real Architecture series: 2. Grimshaw on Southern Cross

[lllARKlll]

The Architecture Foundation's Real Architecture Spring 2007 series continues with a presentation by Grimshaw Architects' chairman Nicholas Grimshaw and director Mark Middleton about the practice's recent expansion of Melbourne's Southern Cross Station, one of Australia's largest on-land transport centres.
Hear the pair discuss how the project, which features an impressive dune-like roof system, marks a progression from Grimshaw's earlier transport projects, most notably the Eurostar Terminal at Waterloo Station, London.
The talk, recorded at the Union Chapel in London's Islington on May 2 2007, is introduced by Jonathan Glancey, architecture and design critic of the Guardian, and is followed by a question and answer session.
The Real Architecture series continues with Norman Foster and HOK Sport's Rod Sheard on Wembley Stadium (May 22); and Anne Lacaton on Bordeaux's Management Sciences University (May 29). For more information on future talks visit www.architecturefoundation.org.uk
