Central Saint Martins College for Art and Design has nurtured some of the most acclaimed British talent in design and the arts. The internationally renowned institution’s alumni includes James Dyson, fashion designers Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney and musicians M.I.A., Jarvis Cocker and PJ Harvey as well as a host of award winning artists and designers.

It is fitting that the new campus is an innovative mix of the old and the ultramodern, a space that is destined to inspire Britain’s best and brightest for years to come.

Frank Gehry’s recently completed, and long-awaited, New York by Gehry is the first of its kind to be designed by the famous architect.

Soaring above a pocket of low-rise buildings that fill the outskirts of New York’s financial district, New York by Gehry stands in charming dialogue with the nearby New York City Hall, Woolworth building and Brooklyn bridge; paying homage to the great city’s past and future.

Essentially the meeting point between adult and childhood cancer research, the competition- winning scheme is fittingly the result of a collaboration between Lahznimmo and Wilson Architects.
