Walking past this construction site, in spite of the great big stud walls put up around the site I was able to catch a view into the site. The form and shapes used in the site are so dynamic and fluid, I believe the shapes are the main feature of the site.
Gillespie's are working in accordance with an architecture company for this completion which is said to be an amphitheater with improved accessibility.
One of the most sustainable aspects of the site is the concrete seating : Earth Friendly Concrete to reduce embodied carbon by 79% (this is equivalent to 758 single car journeys from Paddington Central to Land’s End and 12 return flights between London and Hong Kong).
I very much like the contemporary design and believe it will be successful in the surrounding area as it responds to users usage in the area, buying shopping, having a coffee, a meet up, meeting, waiting for a train and lunch breaks for workers.
To be built by 2023.
