Architect Paul Williams formed Stanton Williams, a London based design studio, with Alan Stanton in 1985. Williams’ work has been shaped by his belief in the integration of art and architecture; he has championed the importance of the arts within our education system throughout his career.
Carlo Scarpa’s integrated vision of art and space and clarity of detail first set Paul Williams on the path to exhibition design. Since those early days, Stanton Williams’ work has evolved to encompass a broad range of projects – from small-scale temporary installations through to the reinvention of major cultural institutions, such as the Musée d’arts de Nantes and the new Museum of London at West Smithfield.
In this talk, Paul will reveal the thinking and process behind some of the practice’s projects over the years, showing how working with curators, artists and art remains a constant source of inspiration for Stanton Williams.
Stanton Williams’ projects span a huge range of building types, and many have involved collaboration with artists, including; the Museum of London at West Smithfield, the Royal Opera House, UAL campus for Central Saint Martins at King’s Cross, the Sainsbury Laboratory in Cambridge, Compton Verney Art Gallery, the Millennium Seed Bank and the practice’s many exhibitions and museum installations.
