New London Architecture (NLA) has unveiled a new interactive model of London in the NLA galleries at The Building Centre just off Tottenham Court Road. Measuring 12.5 metres in length, the New London Model will provide a focal point for Londoners and tourists alike to learn about the history and future development of the capital. NLA, London’s foremost independent forum and
think-tank on the built environment, marks its 10th anniversary this year with a comprehensive series of exhibi- tions, research projects, events and tours exploring the capital’s development. At the centre of the 2015 programme is the launch of the New London Model. The model replaces its predecessor, first unveiled at the organisation’s inception a decade ago, the day after the announcement that London had won the Olympic bid. Built by Pipers with data supplied by Ordnance Survey,

buildings and major infrastructure projects to be digitally animated across the surface of the model. Controlled by touchscreens, visitors are able to call up detailed information and key facts on London’s newest buildings and future projects that will help to define the capital. The model is the city’s only physical manifestation of how London will look and progress as new buildings and developments are given the go-ahead. A series of five bespoke interactive films, integrated with
live projections, bring the story of London’s past and future physical development to life. The series documents the

ICONIC BUILDING
The David Attenborough Building
The Arup Building – the brutalist icon designed by Arup Associates for the University of Cambridge – has been given a new name some 40 years after it opened. The building, currently being re-invented as a centre for research into habitat conservation and biodiversity by Nicholas Hare Architects, will now be known as the David Attenborough Building. The project will facilitate collaboration in research and practice between the University of Cambridge, the Cambridge
Conservation Initiative – a cluster of leading conservation organisations – and the Museum of Zoology. The refurbish- ment uses an innovative approach to measuring sustainability and will demonstrate how it is possible to enrich and conserve biodiversity even in the heart of a city. A 20m skeleton of a finback whale will float above the entrance to the Museum inviting a new audience to explore the outstanding collections that have until now been primarily an academic resource. Carol Lelliott, Partner at Nicholas Hare Architects, said: “It is fantastic that the building will have such an inspiring new name to launch its new future. I can think of no one more appropriate to personify the nature and ambition of this complex project.”
London’s past, present and future mapped out by new interactive model unveiled by NLA
history and development of London; the impact of the London Plan; the future of infrastructure in the capital; the rise of tall buildings and the ongoing influence of the Great Estates as a sustainable model of development. New films are set to be commissioned to coincide with NLA’s ongoing programme of Insight Study research pieces. The future development of the city is represented with
the location of the 263 tall buildings planned or under construction in London mapped across the model. Visitors are also able to track the route and impact of new transport links, such as HS2 and Crossrail 1 and 2 on central London and the outer boroughs. The New London Model will offer an ever-evolving
display, allowing visitors to see how the city will adapt and change, creating a newly improved centre of discussion for London. Regular architectural walking tours of eight central London neighbourhoods – taking place on the second Saturday and last Wednesday of each month – will further reveal how the capital’s buildings and streetscapes are changing.
