| Description |
|
Porphyrios describe One Forbury Square as, "...a
high quality office building with a
distinct contemporary classical
character. The dialogue between the
robust brick-masonry wall, and the
fragile glass-and-metal screen at its
front, is a commentary both on tectonics
and the inherent adaptability of the
classical language." This mixed-use building is part of a development on the site of an old abbey. It involves two office buildings with restaurants on street level, a large basement car park and a new public square.   |
