Artwork Collection
As part of the refresh of our London office, we have curated a thoughtful collection of artwork which embodies both the values of the firm and represents our field of expertise - the built environment.
The collection mostly consists of print artworks revolving around impressive landscapes. Photography is one of the main mediums of this collection. Architectural detail as well as impressive cityscapes are the focus.
The selection of artworks range from bold and colourful abstract works to monochromatic urban pieces. The artworks are all related by the themes of cityscape, the natural environment and sustainability, but they aesthetically differ in order to bring diversity to our workspace.

Mark Power
Untitled
As a child Mark Power discovered his father鈥檚 home-made enlarger in the family attic, a contraption consisting of an upturned flowerpot, a domestic light bulb and a simple camera lens. His interest in photography probably began at this moment, although he later chose illustration - specialising in life drawing and painting instead. He (accidentally) 鈥榖ecame a photographer鈥� in 1983 and worked in the editorial and charity markets for nearly 10 years, before he began teaching in 1992. This coincided with a shift towards long-term, self-initiated projects which now sit comfortably alongside a number of large-scale commissions in the industrial sector.
To date, Power has published four monographs: The Shipping Forecast, a poetic response to the esoteric language of daily maritime weather reports in 1996; Superstructure, a documentation of the construction of London鈥檚 Millennium Dome in 2000; The Treasury Project, 撸撸视频app the restoration of a nineteenth-century historical monument, in 2002: and 26 Different Endings (2007) which looks at those landscapes unlucky enough to fall just off the edge of the London A-Z (a map which could be said to define the boundaries of the British capital). Meanwhile, The Sound of Two Songs - Poland 2004-2008 and A-380 are 撸撸视频app the development of the worlds鈥� largest passenger airplane and were published in 2008.
Val茅ria Nascimento
Cube Installation 2010
"Cube Installation" by Val茅ria Nascimento stretches to 2 meters long and consists of 130 handmade slab-built stoneware cubes finished in oatmeal glaze, which has a matt finish. Each cube represents a building. Using the ceramic cubes to loosely identify as architectural buildings, she has taken into account the various sites within Bedford Square where Gardiner & Theobald first started.
By using a colour glaze to identify loosely the Gardiner & Theobald sites, thus creating the past and present viewpoint of the ever-growing organisation. Each individual piece is cut from clay slabs and joined together to form each element of the overall installation. The pieces are glazed and high-fired in an electric kiln to a temperature of 1260 degrees Celsius. The whole process is handmade. Nascimento is mainly inspired by the natural world, with a strong interest in the elements of repetition and sequence the forms take using this concept.
Her main interest lies in larger-scale wall pieces and installations. As the scale increases the opportunity for communicating her ideas increase together. 'My inspiration is drawn mostly from the natural world and porcelain has the smoothness and the malleability that I need to create new shapes, manipulating it to appear in some cases defiantly weightless. My work is 撸撸视频app repetitive sculptural group. I am interested in large-scale wall installation projects.'
Chris Wood
Ordered Chance
The commission by Chris Wood, 'Ordered Chance' is a random arrangement of dichroic fins, containing within the geometry of circle. The fins are colourless material with an applied dichroic filter. The filter interferes with the passage of light revealing optical colours contained within white light. The hue and intensity of the colours change depending upon the angle and intensity of the light. The random arrangement of the fins allows light to interact with the material at different angles, creating complex patterns of colour light. The work is mounted onto white aluminium.
Wood uses a variety of optical materials in order to exploit the aesthetic potential of light. Minimal structures support simple arrangements of optical materials, which interact with light, to create complex kinetic patterns of light and shade. Her work aims to reveal the wonder and magic of the phenomenon of light.
