Design team shortlist
We are pleased to tell you that the five shortlisted design teams have been announced:
Memorial design team selection
In our December update to the Grenfell community, we shared the news that we had received strong applications from 28 multi-disciplinary design teams, featuring architects, landscape architects, community engagement specialists and other disciplines.
We have now robustly evaluated and moderated those applicants to reach a shortlist of teams that should have the right skills, capability and awareness of the Grenfell tragedy. We have also conducted significant due diligence checks to make sure that any team, organisation or individual potentially working on the memorial does not bear any potential responsibility for the tragedy.
Appointing a design team is a vital step in turning the Grenfell community’s vision for a future memorial into a physical reality. We are also all too aware of the importance of, in collaboration with the Grenfell community, appointing the right team, who will work professionally, sensitively and thoughtfully, with the Grenfell community.
Remembering Grenfell: Recommendations and next steps to a memorial
Our second report, Remembering Grenfell: Recommendations and next steps to a memorial covers almost four years of work to understand the Grenfell community’s wishes for a fitting and beautiful memorial to all those that were tragically lost.
This report is an important and necessary step in taking the community’s vision for a future memorial, and then turning it into a reality.
