In collaboration with Asif Khan Studio and Conservation Architect Julian Harrap, Stanton Williams are transforming parts of the historic West Smithfield Market into a new home for the Museum of London. Bringing new vibrancy to a historic, yet deteriorating, part of the city, the project reimagines a campus of heritage market buildings into a 24 hour world class cultural destination and a democratic arena for public life and debate.
One of the largest cultural schemes happening in Europe, the new Museum of London is a showcase of adaptive reuse of heritage buildings. Stanton Williams’ Anne Fehrenbach, who has been working in a leadership role on the project since the firm won the competition in 2016, will discuss the design strategies adopted to attain exemplar sustainable targets and circular economy principles.
These events of talks, debates and demonstrations provide a rich platform of opportunities for students and staff, together with external audience, to engage with the expanding scope of critical research and creative practice traversing fields of Architecture, Landscape, Interior and Urban Design.
Anne Fehrenbach is an Associate Director at Stanton Williams and a passionate advocate for sustainable and integrated design. Working both in the UK and internationally, Anne has developed an extensive expertise in the restoration and adaptive reuse of heritage buildings for cultural uses.
Completed projects in these fields include the UAL Campus for Central Saint Martins, in London, and the Musée d’Arts de Nantes. Moreover, Anne is currently working on Clermont-Ferrand Library in France and the Museum of London at West Smithfield.
Before joining Stanton Williams in 2006, Anne worked at Foster and Partners in London and studied in Paris la Seine and Paris la Villette.
