redevelopment

Illuminated model. As a theatre, the

building comes to life at night so the

architects have illuminated their

model in order to understand the

effect that the building will have

after dark.

‘On the Young Vic Theatre we spent a lot of time just sitting in performances

and sitting in bars in the neighbourhood watching the world go by and

understanding what the political and social microclimate was like.’

Steve Tompkins, Haworth Tompkins
