T10 Urban Markers


Olympic landmark - This object is kind of dialog – related other projects - Like art object
Giant – Victoria harbour – bridge structure – form / experience
Coiling – kind of concept
Irregular elevation

NLA (National Landlords Association)
Euston -> Grateful memorable monument /Euston Arch trust

Euston station development
1. The building before destroyed
2. Euston street
3. The other stations

Architecture - street furniture
English Modernism start bricks
Don’t need to show construction skill or like

Land mark for the citizen or the tourist
I thought the urban design is based on the data of surroundings, but it is not. So, it seems like a sculpture rather than urban design works.
Also, I think tourists don’t expect this object in London. They will expect to see historical buildings.

  1. New markets only become recognized tourist attraction with time I would tink. Look at Paris, Eifel Tower. It was justa show of mewest technologies and it stayed a a most remarcable marker. We may not like the ideas in this morning lesture yet we have to give these spatial object a chanse.
