The current Lloyd's building was designed by architect Richard Rogers and built between 1978 and 1986. Bovis was the management contractorthe building was innovative in having its services such as staircases, lifts, electrical power conduits and water pipes on the outside, leaving an uncluttered space inside. The 12 glass lifts were the first of their kind in the United Kingdom. Like the Pompidou Centre, the building was highly influenced by the work of Archigram in the 1950s and 1960s.

JOSEPH SLOANE STREETLONDON:

Joseph took over a unit of three different sized floors, totalling 800 sq.m. The existing geometry was unworkable and incoherent, with limited shopfront in relation to the shop’s size. Also the existing spiral staircase was located in a position which neither assisted circulation nor complied with building regulations. Re-locating the stair to the centre of the ground floor was a device to ease circulation, free up previously constrained floor space, and act as a sculptural focus as well as creating a clear orientation link between all levels. A limited palette of materials was selected for the finishes, to achieve a neutral background against which the merchandise would shine.Completed 1989.

Tjibaou Cultural Centre

Jean-Marie 

The Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre (French: Centre culturel Tjibaou), on the narrow Tinu Peninsula, approximately 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) northeast of the historic centre of Nouméa, the capital of New Caledonia, celebrates the vernacular Kanak culture, the indigenous culture of New Caledonia, amidst much political controversy over the independent status sought by some Kanaks from French rule. It opened in June 1998 and was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano and named after Jean-Marie Tjibaou, the leader of the independence movement who was assassinated in 1989 and who had a vision of establishing a cultural centre which blended the linguistic and artistic heritage of the Kanak people
