The London Internet Museum project in North Woolwich aims to chronicle the evolution of the internet while engaging the local community through an immersive architectural experience. The design integrates historical elements with modern architecture, fulfilling a dual purpose of preserving local heritage and facilitating educational initiatives focused on digital culture.

The project centers around a cantilevered structure built above the historic North Woolwich railway station. This dual approach represents a fusion of the past and the present, creating a rich dialogue between traditional brickwork and contemporary materials. Key components such as exhibition spaces, learning areas, and public interaction zones are strategically designed to enhance visitor engagement.

Integration of Historical and Modern Design Approaches

A defining aspect of the London Internet Museum is its juxtaposition of materials and forms. The project retains the character of the historic railway station, utilizing existing brickwork to maintain a connection to the area’s industrial heritage. This traditional material is complemented by modern elements such as reinforced concrete, aluminum panels, and expansive glass surfaces. The use of glass not only allows natural light to flood interior spaces but also creates a visual connection between the museum and the surrounding environment, reinforcing the concept of connectivity.

The design incorporates flexible exhibition spaces capable of adapting to various themes. This approach ensures that the museum remains relevant and can reflect the continuously evolving nature of the internet and associated cultural narratives. Unique user experience zones promote interaction and facilitate community events, instilling a sense of ownership and encouraging active participation among visitors.

Sustainability and Environmental Considerations

The architectural design thoughtfully addresses sustainability, integrating features such as passive solar heating and green roofs. This attention to environmental impact aligns the museum with contemporary architectural standards and demonstrates a commitment to ecological responsibility. Accessibility is also a priority, with carefully planned pathways and entrances enabling all community members to engage with the museum's offerings.

The London Internet Museum represents a forward-thinking approach to architectural design, merging education, history, and community engagement. To delve deeper into the architectural plans, sections, and overall design concepts, readers are encouraged to explore the project presentation for additional insights and details.

The Mujassam Watan Urban Sculpture Challenge invites architects and designers to create iconic public sculptures for one of two sites in Saudi Arabia: Abu Hadriyah Road or the Tharwa Sea Front in Al-Khobar. Proposals should reflect Saudi identity, culture, and future aspirations.

`

The Mujassam Watan Urban Sculpture Challenge is an international architecture and design competition inviting creatives to shape the future of Saudi Arabia’s public spaces. With a total prize fund of €50,000, the competition calls for sculptural proposals that merge cultural symbolism with innovative design, offering participants a chance to see their concepts brought to life in a rapidly transforming national context.

Organised by Buildner in partnership with the Mujassam Watan Initiative, the challenge focuses on two prominent locations: Abu Hadriyah Road, a major highway and gateway into the Eastern Province, and the Tharwa Sea Front in Al-Khobar, a pedestrian-focused waterfront district. Designers must select one site and develop a sculpture that engages with its surroundings—whether addressing the fast-paced dynamism of a transit corridor or creating moments of interaction along a coastal promenade.

Proposals should be bold, site-specific, and rooted in narrative—drawing on themes such as heritage, national identity, transformation, and dialogue. Environmental responsiveness, material durability, and feasibility are strongly encouraged, as winning projects may be selected for actual construction.

Each submission must include four A2 landscape presentation boards, a cover image, and a written project description. The competition is open to professionals and students alike, working individually or in teams of up to four people. No professional license is required.

Registration is open until July 24, 2025, with final submissions due by August 27, 2025. Winners will be announced on October 1, 2025.
