Royal Academy of Arts masterplan
Founded in 1768, the Royal Academy of Arts (RA) is the oldest arts institution in Britain and is located in Burlington House on Piccadilly, in central London. In 1998 the RA acquired 6 Burlington Gardens, a nineteenth century Italianate building located immediately to the north, which had originally served as the Senate House for the University of London and had been modified over the years. The project started with a masterplan for connecting the two Grade II* listed buildings physically, developing a new programme for 6 Burlington Gardens and giving coherence to the entire complex. The renovation opens the RA physically and ideologically, significantly expands the institutions space and range of activities, and connects Piccadilly to Burlington Gardens on an urban level, with a cultural programme.
