Palace of Westminster Restoration

Brief

Create a design for hoarding to wrap around the Palace of Westminster while it is undergoing restoration.

Insight

The restoration will involve up to one-third of all heritage workers from across the UK, yet the craftsmanship behind the repair is often hidden from public view.

Idea

The hoarding brings this craftsmanship to the surface, highlighting the tools, makers and traditional skills behind the restoration. Animated billboards extend the campaign, using movement to show the scale of the work and the specialist crafts involved.
