Architects vie for opera house study
The Royal Opera House in London has launched a competition for architects to redesign its entrances.
A selected group of architects has been invited to propose schemes that will 'open up' the Opera House's public spaces.
According to the ROH, the aim of the project is to make the 'entrances and street-level public areas to the building more open and tantalising, and to find ways of developing existing space to assist making the work of the Royal Opera House and the associated creative processes more visible to the general public. The competition process will allow us to select an architect to carry out a feasibility study for the work'.
The competition closes this month and the architect selected to work on the feasibility study will be announced next month. This competition is being funded completely by private supporters of the Royal Opera House.
