'FRUSTRATED' MJP LEAVES BBC

摘要

MacCormac Jamieson Prichard (MJP) has sensationally left the BBC Broadcasting House project amid reports of a bust-up over design. The London-based practice will not be working on the scheme's high-profile second phase, the new-build element, following the recent completion of phase one, the renovation of the existing building. Contractor Bovis Lend Lease and developer Land Securities - in a private-public partnership with the BBC — have cited 'creative differences' as the reason for the split. But the AJ has learnt that Richard MacCormac had become increasingly frustrated by a series of valueengineering exercises on his competition-winning designs.
