Hayward Gallery reopens after £35m FCBS refurb

摘要

The Hayward Gallery reopens this week after a £35m restoration by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios.rnThe South Bank institution, designed by LCC architects some of whom went on to form Archigram, was shut nearly two and a halfrnyears ago, along with the Queen Elizabeth Hall and Purcell Room, to undergo a comprehensive refurbishment.rnIt reopens on Thursday in time for its 50th anniversary year with the first major retrospective in a UK institution of the work ofrnGerman photographer Andreas Gursky.rnThe work was approved after a much more ambitious £120m redevelopment project by the architect (FCBS) was dropped, partlyrnbecause of a campaign by skateboarders and partly because of objections to the scale of new buildings proposed.
