  • Reimagining Mayfair Open Call RA
    In partnership with the Architects’ Journal Open Call Reimagining Mayfair: London’s next cultural quarter? Introduction The Royal Academy of Arts (RA) and the Architects’ Journal (AJ) are launching an open call for multidisciplinary teams to present new ideas for the area of Mayfair to the north of the RA’s Burlington Gardens building. In recent years the RA has developed detailed plans to restore and reconceive the interior spaces of its Burlington Gardens building, which is currently subject of a major, HLF-supported building project, beginning on-site in mid-2015. With this open call, the RA wishes to extend the focus beyond its walls and foster new ideas for the future of the surrounding area. The Brief We are looking for bold new ideas for reimagining the area of Mayfair directly to the north of the RA’s Burlington Gardens building. The area in focus is bounded by and includes Old Bond Street to the west, Clifford Street to the north, Savile Row to the east and Burlington Gardens to the south. Laid out by Lord Burlington in the 1720s and 1730s, this area has had an enduring association with tailoring, private art galleries and, latterly, luxury shopping. In recent years, it has benefited from the rejuvenation of Regent Street and will be further affected by the impending arrival of the new Crossrail station at Bond Street. Meanwhile, the RA is renovating its Burlington Gardens building with new galleries, learning studio and the reinstatement of a lecture theatre. A ‘link’ bridge will, for the first time, allow public access across the whole RA site.

Following a transformational redevelopment, designed by internationally- acclaimed architect Sir David Chipperfield CBE RA and supported by the National Lottery, the new Royal Academy will open up and reveal more of the elements that make the RA unique – sharing with the public historic treasures from its Collection, the work of its Royal Academicians and the Royal Academy Schools, alongside its world-class exhibitions programme.

  • Burlington Gardens and Old Burlington Street
    CITY OF WESTMINSTER – CITY MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNITIES DELEGATED AUTHORITY REPORT 7571 TRAFFIC ORDERS – BURLINGTON GARDENS AND OLD BURLINGTON STREET INTRODUCTION OF RESTRICTED PARKING ZONE, AND AMENDMENTS TO PARKING PROVISIONS AND WAITING AND LOADING RESTRICTIONS (Drawing Nos. 70043758-WSP-P01-DR-HI-1202 and -1203 Revs S1-P01) (St. James’s Ward) Background Information Westminster City Council, with a funding contribution from the New West End Company, has developed proposals for a high-quality public realm scheme in Burlington Gardens. The proposals are intended to emphasise the importance of Burlington Gardens as the public forecourt to the northern entrance of the Royal Academy of Arts and to improve pedestrian movement and safety along the length of the road. The public realm improvements in Burlington Gardens include: · the reconstruction of the highway using a combination of Yorkstone and granite setts and Yorkstone slabs to complement the architecture of the Academy; · the elevation of the carriageway between Cork Street and Vigo Street so that it aligns flush with the height of the footway, reducing its visual dominance; · the lowering of the raised carriageway between New Bond Street and Cork Street to reduce vehicle speeds along the road and to support disabled access to the taxi rank (see item (c) below); · the widening of the north-western footway and decluttering of both footways to: o reduce crossing distances and pedestrian congestion; o raise the profile of commercial frontages; and o provide opportunities for seating and cycle parking; and · improved street lighting. The design of these measures is intended to continue the aesthetics of the completed public realm improvements in New Bond Street, which lies at the south-western end of Burlington Gardens.
