Arrival at Delhi Noida International Airport in India, designed by winning consortium consisting of Nordic – Office of Architecture, Grimshaw, Haptic and STUP
Grimshaw has said it has no intention of pulling out of Architects Declare – or stopping aviation work – after it was named part of the winning team for a new airport in India.
