| Foster + Partners to erect installation for LFA Foster + Partners is designing and then erecting, with the help of the public, a special installation to mark the launch of the 2008 London Festival of Architecture (LFA) on Saturday 21 June. Part of the LFA's Kensington, Chelsea and Knightsbridge Hub, the structure will be constructed and dismantled on Exhibition Road in a single day. The design will be revealed at the event and Foster + Partners announced that the installation will incorporate a new eight channel site specific sound sculpture by artist Bill Fontana. This is Fontana's second interactive piece with a Foster + Partners project – in 2006, his sound installation 'Harmonic Bridge' captured the reverberations of the Millennium Footbridge inside the Turbine Hall of Tate Modern. This new project will also form part of the free annual music festival along Exhibition Road, which will be pedestrianised for the day. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
