Grimshaw, Nicholas Thomas
English architect. His work has developed along distinctly high-tech lines, for example his Financial Times printing works, London (1988), an uncompromisingly industrial building that exposes machinery to view through a glass outer wall. Later works include the Continental Train Platform at Waterloo Station, London (1993), the Ecological Centre Project (home of the botanical Eden Project) at St Austell, Cornwall (2001), and Folly Bridge in Oxford (2002). He became president of the Royal Academy in 2004.
Grimshaw's British Pavilion for Expo '92 in Seville, created in similar vein to his Financial Times printing works, addressed problems of climatic control, incorporating a huge wall of water in its facade and sail-like mechanisms on the roof. He was knighted in 2002.
