ACME has been invited to talk at the Sto Werkstatt gallery in London on Thursday 7th of November at 6.30 pm.
Duarte Lobo Antunes will be talking about Designing Specific Buildings in a Globalised World.
How does one design spaces that are both of their places but have universal appeal? How is building in Kent different from designing for Muscat? How is it similar? What does it mean to be local and context-specific in a world that increasingly shares that same references? How can such a diverse studio come together to find a common language?
These are the questions that drive ACME’s thinking and designs on a daily basis and will be addressed during the evening’s talk.

Network Rail Property has announced it is to bring forward new plans to redevelop Britain’s busiest station, London Liverpool Street, to transform the customer experience.

It’s time the station becomes a destination in its own right, to handle the demands of the future.

London Liverpool Street station is a major transport hub connecting well over 100 million people a year within London and the southeast, with passengers forecast to grow to over 140 million a year by 2050.

This is a transport-led scheme promoted by Network Rail Property focussed on providing big improvements to the everyday experience for passengers, including:

• Increasing the size of the concourse to ease congestion  

• Step-free access across the station and London Underground 

• Delivering 7 new lifts to make Network Rail platforms and the London Underground more accessible.  

• Increasing the number of escalators from 4 to 8 to enable easier access to the trains  

• More ticket barriers to reduce queuing 

• New toilets, including family facilities on all levels of the station. 

• New landmark entrances on Liverpool Street, Bishopsgate and Exchange Square. 

• Additional waiting lounges  

• Better signage throughout, making the busses easier to find. 

• More cycle storage with direct access to platforms 

• More space for passengers inside the station

• A greater variety of cafes, restaurants and shops
