BalmondStudio

Widely considered to be one of the most influential creators of his generation, Cecil Balmond successfully occupies multiple roles as artist, designer, architect, engineer, theoretician and writer. His approach is one of investigation and draws on 40 years of research into diverse forms. Through a unique interrogation of science, geometry and the structure of the non-linear, Balmond radically reorganises space and creates new horizons in art and architecture. Former deputy chairman of Arup, Balmond runs his research-led workshop, Balmond Studio, in London, UK and Colombo, Sri Lanka. Ongoing projects include a $700m mixed use development in Asia, a national monument to mark the England/Scotland border crossing at Gretna Green called Star of Caledonia, for which Cecil is the winning artist, and an immersive installation for a hotel in St Tropez.
