Weekly programmes by Open City. Making architecture and cities more open, accessible and equitable. Today: the first episode in a new Deconstructed miniseries, for which we’ve been given special access to London’s most ambitious cultural project: the transformation of the western part of Smithfield Market into a new home for London Museum, opening to the public on Saturday 28th November. We're joined by Director of London Museum, Sharon Ament; Director of Regeneration and Development for the City of London Corporation, Chris Bonner; Partner at Julian Harrap Architects, Lyall Thow; and Alec Shaw, Director of New Museum Project & Estate at London Museum. We discuss the Museum's former home on London Wall, the origins of its move to Smithfield over a decade ago, the thousand-year history of Smithfield Market and the Victorian buildings designed by Sir Horace Jones in the 1880s which are the new home of London Museum. This episode is supported by London Museum. [Repeats Tuesday 2.30am.]
