Populous - 4 London Festival of Architecture- 68
With a capacity of 62,062, the new stadium
becomes the biggest club stadium in London
and, by incorporating a fully retractable
pitch, the first in the world to be custom-built
to stage football and NFL games. Debuting as a festival hub for
the London Festival of
Architecture, Heart of London
(representing St James’s,
Piccadilly Circus, and Leicester
Square) plays host to a thought-
provoking flag installation on
the famous street of Piccadilly,
St James’s throughout June.
John Robertson Architects - 12
John Robertson Architects (JRA) has
completed the refurbishment of Bracken
House in the City of London on behalf of
the building’s owner, Obayashi Corporation.
Bracken House was designed by Sir Albert
Richardson in 1959 as The Financial Times (FT)
headquarters and was extensively remodeled
in the high-tech style by Michael Hopkins &
Partners between 1988 and 1992.
IESBC - 24
In May, the Illuminating Engineering Society
of British Columbia (IESBC) awarded its 2019
‘Vision Award’ recipients, which honours
outstanding BC lighting designers for their
work. The gala event held at CBC Studio One
served up canapés and cocktails followed by
the awards ceremony celebrating the best in
BC’s lighting community.
A new prestigious address will soon emerge
on Atwater Avenue, on the former site of the
Montreal Children’s Hospital, nestled between
the mountain, the river, the downtown core
and the upscale city of Westmount: 1111
Atwater.
The former building of the SAGEP
(Société Anonyme de Gestion des Eaux de
Paris) is no longer in use. In its place, at 7-9
rue Schoelcher in the 14th arrondissement of
Paris, we discover a brand new apartment
building, which, like the old one, bears the so
personal mark of its architect, Alain Sarfati.
Because already in 1992, it was Alain Sarfati
who was called upon by SAGEP to transform
an old office building into an emblem for
the company. Bought from the City of Paris
by RIVP to create housing, the building
was therefore entrusted to the same
architect to carry out this new
mission.
