Nicholas Grimshaw – the Way to Eden

Sir Nicholas Grimshaw, CBE, PPRA is a prominent English architect, particularly noted for several modernist buildings, including London’s Waterloo International railway station and the Eden Project in Cornwall. He was made a Knight Bachelor in 2002 New Year Honours, for services to Architecture. Grimshaw also was President of the Royal Academy from 2004 to 2011, and he is a current chairman of Grimshaw Architects (formerly Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners). The maitre made a significant impact on architecture in Britain and abroad as one of the brightest representatives of green architecture that drastically breaks through the future horizons. In his creative works he rose from the perception of the building as the “machine civilization” (‘machine civilisation’) to its architectural feel as a living natural body.
