Looking ahead to Chapman Taylor’s 60th anniversary year
2019 marks the 60th anniversary of Chapman Taylor’s foundation, and we will be celebrating reaching this milestone throughout the year.
Our company was formed in London in 1959 by Bob Chapman, John Taylor and Jane Durham, with our first commission being New Scotland Yard in Westminster – a building which went on to become a world-famous landmark and tourist attraction.
The last six decades have seen Chapman Taylor constantly innovating and adapting to meet changing market needs, and our ongoing success is testament to our ability to keep ahead of industry trends. We operate an ongoing research and development program and have been pioneering in the use of BIM, Virtual Reality technology and modular construction.
Never a company to stand still, Chapman Taylor has expanded into new sectors and new markets, opening studios around the world – we currently operate from 18 locations across the UK, Europe, Asia and the Middle East – and designing development schemes in over 90 countries.
We have worked on well over 2,000 projects in a wide range of sectors, including shopping centres, residential masterplans, office developments, theme parks, cutting-edge cinemas, town centre urban regeneration schemes and masterplans for entire city districts.
The company has been responsible for shaping many of the most well-known spaces in the UK and worldwide – on projects as varied as St Pancras International in London, the MediaCityUK estate in Manchester, Caspian Waterfront in Baku, Global Harbor in Shanghai, Centennial Hall in Wroclaw, and the Mall of Qatar in Doha.
