Schal were involved as Project Manager and Construction Consultant when RBK&C led a consortium including all the museums, looking into opening up the space along Exhibition Way, and making use of LUL’s tunnel from South Kensington station.
Foster as Concept Designer were attempting to create a single-point access Hall below street level, with part-glazed pedestrian paving above, together with a vast glass-enclosed restaurant between the Science and Natural History Museums. Leibskin’s “spiral” extension to the V & A was also to be integrated into the scheme.
At the end of the day, support from the Heritage Lottery Fund dwindled and the project was mothballed for some years.
