Scrapped plans for a new concert hall in London are getting a much-needed reset thanks to an updated design by Diller Scofidio + Renfro and Sheppard Robson.

The pair originally was set to design the hall as part of a scheme sponsored by the Barbican and London Symphony Orchestra to redevelop the site of the Museum of London after winning an international competition in 2017.

The plan was also backed by the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and included a twisting geometrical glass-and-timber structure which featured a layered program of performance venues and music education spaces at a tune of £288 million ($381 million) before being axed quietly at the beginning of the year by the city.

The new design features an ostensibly simplified form beset with biophilic elements which run up the plaza-facing facade of the structure now dubbed “London Wall West” in reference to the existing structures at 140-150 London Wall that are said to be “at the end of their design lives” according to London’s Property Investment Board.

Overlooking a “meadow-like” bowl of newly created public space where the museum and Bastion House currently stand, the development will serve mostly as an office tower with the inclusion of a “culture cap” concert venue that helps meet the city’s original intention as a gateway to London’s Cultural Mile.

Buro Happold will be conducting a design assessment on the carbon emissions of the redevelopment and says its aim is to reuse 90% of the existing materials on site to complete the new structure. An updated assessment is expected next year as the design process progresses. Archinect will provide updates to the project as they become available.
