This week the British Embassy in Paris hosted UK Architecture Showcase, a celebration of the UK’s “transformative and trail-blazing” architects and engineers. Organised by the Department for Business and Trade, the event offered an opportunity for practices to present their work to (mostly) French investors, contractors, policy-makers and clients. It also gave those in attendance the chance to mingle with UK politicians including Deputy Trade Commissioner Europe and Director for International Trade UK-France Jo Hawley, HM Trade Commissioner for Europe Chris Barton and Gareth Thomas, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Minister for Services, Small Businesses and Exports) at the Department for Business and Trade.

Participating architecture practices included Bennetts Associates, Grimshaw, RSHP, WilkinsonEyre, Hawkins\Brown, GROUPWORK, David Kohn, Stanton Williams, Foster + Partners, Zaha Hadid Architects, Design International, Allies & Morrison, WW+P and  Mamou-Mani. Engineers included Atelier One, Buro Happold, Eckersley O’Callaghan, Price & Myers, Mott MacDonald and Webb Yates.
