| Description |
|
| Cannon Place is being
constructed over and around the Cannon
Street Network Rail and London Underground
lines, and involves an upgrade of the
facilities for both stations. The
architects, Foggo Associates, explain
that, "The expressed
steel mega-structure of the office
building spans and cantilevers over the
railway and LUL stations and tracks,
minimizing the impact on the Scheduled
Ancient Monument of the Roma Governor's
Palace below." An article in the "New Civil Engineer" in July of 2011, by Mark Hansford, describes the nature of the building's construction, "On each side of the building, external cross bracing in the form of massive eight storey high criss-crossing trusses tied together by steel perimeter beams, transfer loads from the cantilevered sections back to the cores. .....  It is these trusses consisting of plated box sections with plate thicknesses up to 100mm that the give the building its distinctive appearance." |
