Koto Bolofo's Construction Sight at Cork Street Galleries

Construction Sight is Bolofo’s first foray into architectural photography, a four-year project documenting the transformation of Holland Park’s former Commonwealth Institute into the new Design Museum.
Bolofo’s extraordinary photographs will premiere on Cork Street ahead of going on permanent display in the new Design Museum’s spectacular atrium, when the building opens in November.
