Architectural designSummary: Foster + Partners’ European headquarters building for the global financial information and technology company Bloomberg is exceptional not just for the sheer volume of models and prototypes that were constructed, but also for the level of research that went into it. Several significant elements – notably the innovative breathing facades – were modelled at various scales and in different materials, both physically and virtually, allowing the team to refine them throughout the design process. Michael Jones, the project architect, describes how it was done and sets out the added value the method brought to the studio, client and users.
