This is the third and final episode in our new Deconstructed miniseries, for which we’ve been given special access to London’s most ambitious cultural project: the transformation of the western part of Smithfield Market into a new home for London Museum, opening to the public on Saturday 28th November.
In this episode we heard from Sharon Ament, Director of London Museum, the architect Asif Khan, Founder of Asif Khan Architects and Chris Bonner, Director of Regeneration and Redevelopment at the City of London Corporation.
We discussed the way that the move to Smithfield is driving the London Museum to reimagine itself as a city museum for the future, the role that adaptive reuse can play in transforming an institution and the possibilities of its new home to engage with London and Londoners in a new way.
