Technical Studies Lecture 22nd October: Sang Hoon Kim

TECHNICAL STUDIES OPEN LECTURE SERIES

Sang Hoon Kim – Populous
Olympic Stadium Transformation
Thursday 22nd October, 6.30pm
Room M416 (Robin Evans Room)

Sang joined Populous in 2001 to work on the redevelopment of Ascot Racecourse. As a member of the core team responsible for design of the building, he established the complex geometry of the tensile fabric roof structure. The project was opened to great acclaim by her Majesty the Queen in June 2006 at Royal Ascot.

Following completion of the Ascot Racecourse project, Sang joined the design team of another award-winning project, the London Olympic Stadium and Sang has been involved in this project from initial conceptual design stage through to final completion and transformation.

More recently, Sang has helped to develop the Strategic Masterplan for Lord’s Cricket Ground. Sang has continued his involvement with Lord’s, by leading the coordination of the architectural and engineering design for the redevelopment of the Warner Stand. Sang’s extensive knowledge of sport facility design allowed him to contribute to the sport chapter of the latest edition of the Metric Handbook (Planning and Design Data).

Sang will talk about the London Olympic Stadium, and the Olympic Stadium transformation recently completed for the Rugby World Cup.

Sang Hoon Kim is an alumnus of the Department of Architecture at the University of Westminster.
