| London 2012: Top Team Chosen To Design Olympic Park David Higgins, chief executive-designate of the Olympic Delivery Authority, announced the winning team chosen to design the Olympic Park and its associated infrastructure. The team, chosen through a competitive tendering process, will play a key role in turning London’s Olympic vision into reality, as well as setting the framework for the regeneration of the Lower Lea Valley in East London. The EDAW consortium, together with Arup and Atkins will form an integrated team to develop the design. The EDAW consortium, which produced the award-winning masterplan that helped London win the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, comprises: EDAW PLC, Buro Happold, Foreign Office Architects, HOK Sport, and Allies & Morrison. The team, led by Jason Prior, Principal of EDAW, will work with the Interim Olympic Delivery Authority to further develop the Olympic Park masterplan and begin to design all the infrastructure elements that will make up the Park including utilities, waterways, drainage, landscape, roads and bridges. The plans currently have outline planning permission, granted on 1 October 2004, and further detailed planning applications will be required. The team will not design the Olympic venues or Athletes’ Village, which will be tendered separately. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
