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. EMD Construction – Batimo Group - 50 Sarea- 72
