Description |
|
The sign high up on this
building on Bishopsgate, across from
Liverpool Street Station, declares it to
be home to the Royal Bank of
Scotland. It was built as the London
Headquarters of ABN Amro. It was the
first new building added to the
Spitalfield Redevelopment site. The
architects say that, "The striking
sharp-angled form of EPR Architects'
landmark building creates a visual
fork on Bishopsgate directing the flow
of pedestrians towards the new
quarter. At the same time the
transparent three-storey volume of the
corner entrance hall offers intruiging
views through the angular glass planes
drawing attention inside the building
itself." |
