The British Museum's Great Court.
Designed by Foster and Partners, engineered by Buro Happold and built by Waagner-Biro.
The first step in the recreation of the Great Court was the demolition of the undistinguished post-war buildings that served as bookstacks around the drum of the Reading Room. The southern portico, which was demolished to enlarge the Museum’s entrance hall in the 1870s, has been reinstated to a new design.
To allow the Great Court to be used no matter what the weather, it is covered with an undulating glazed roof. It has no visible supports to detract from the restoration of the classical facades around it. Instead it spans the gap between the facades and the drum of the Reading Room as a self-supporting structure.
The undulating, minimal steel latticework supports 3,312 unique triangular glass panels. Each one is different in size and shape because of the roof’s complex geometric form, which results from the fact that the Reading Room is not exactly in the centre of the Great Court, but is 5 metres closer to the northern portico. A specially written computer programme was required to work out the exact dimensions and angles of each panel, each of which has been sponsored by an individual or company.

My passion rises for storytelling and somehow I've been making a career out of it, from TV now at Intel. Now I'm wising up and reading books about the wonders and techniques. Springboard storytelling was like reading what I've been experiencing inside Intel -- immovable at first, then skyrocket results when you can tell good stories that cut through the data and reliance on reason. My buddy Mark Ivey turned me on the the Story Factor -- good tips inside!

View of the study carrels seemingly pushed up against the wall by the bookstacks on the basement floor of the library; Spring, 2010.
Kghia, Simeon, Walton, Elle, me and Windsor all shaking our pixels. I can't stop taking photos of everything since I discovered how to use shadows in SL. :)
Elastically defining spaces with mobile bookstacks allows program spaces to grow and shrink multiple times per day. Transforming this formerly depressing basement space with an infusion of daylight and securely connecting to the 16 acre park punctuated with larger than life bronze sculptures now delights patrons with the combination of enclosure and expansiveness.
