The five shortlisted plans for the British Museum's western wing highlight the importance of architectural vision, but key decisions will hinge on cost, environment, and engineering.
While the models provide a glimpse of potential designs, the final decision will rely heavily on practical considerations such as compliance with the original brief and structural impacts.
It's intriguing to think about a fully transparent perspex model as a potential design option, emphasizing the blend of innovation and visibility in architectural proposals.
Visitors can view the architectural models in the Reading Room until March 2nd, 2025, alongside a comprehensive scale model of the entire museum estate.
