The Shed
The Shed by Haworth Tompkins, National Theatre
Theatre Square, South Bank, Lambeth
London, September 2014
“The Shed stands in Theatre Square between the theatre and the river, and houses a 225-seat auditorium made of raw steel and plywood. A temporary foyer has been carved out from the space beneath the NT’s external terraces. The rough sawn timber cladding is a reference to the National Theatre’s board-marked concrete, while its corner towers refer to its bold geometries. It is built from 100% recyclable materials, is fitted out with re-used seating and is naturally ventilated: the four towers draw air through the building.” (Haworth Tompkins' Shed opens at the National Theatre, Building Design)
