Description

Greg Penoyre and Sunand Prasad (recently elected RIBA President) have been in practice together for 18 years. In that time, they have garnered an eclectic portfolio of buildings that are visually striking, practical and for a variety of uses, including education, healthcare, housing and culture. 25 of these projects are examined in depth here, including Moorfields Eye Hospital, the Rich Mix Centre, Wolverhampton Civic Halls, Woodacre Farm Learning Difficulties Unit and the University of Portsmouth Frewen Library. These case studies are arranged around a series of eight essays written by Prasad. Transformations provides a unique and personal insight into Penoyre and Prasad's major projects, which are illustrated with detailed plans and clear descriptions.
