F1 engineering and artistic sculpture collide in John Barnard and Terence Woodgate exhibition

The project unites renowned British product and furniture designer Terence Woodgate with John Barnard, the pioneering Formula 1 engineer who masterminded the sport’s first carbonfibre monocoque and served as technical director for both McLaren and Ferrari.

Reluctant to work abroad in the late 1980s and 1990s , Barnard struck a deal to design the Scuderia’s cars from an unassuming building in Shalford, Surrey, rather than Maranello. That Ferrari was willing to make such a rare concession speaks volumes about John’s engineering talent.
