Lords Media Centre
The Media Centre at Lord's is one of the most innovative buildings to be created in recent times. It is the first all aluminium semi-monococque building in the world and represents a breakthrough, not just in the creation of a new three-dimensional aesthetic but in its method of construction.
This building was built and fitted out not by the construction industry but by a boatyeard, using the very latest advances in boat building technology.
Raised 15m above the ground, the aerodynamic contours of the building reflect the sweep of the Ground with the enclosing skin formed by a smooth, white, seamless shell. The west facing glazing is inclined to avoid any glare or reflections while providing unobstructed views of the game for the World's media.
