| Description |
|
|
These two wooden pavilions are located on
the public space between City Hall and Tower
Bridge. The Parkside Pavilion (see
above), closest to City Hall, is clad in
charred timber, apparently in homage to the
fact that the area was subjected to fire
bombing during World War II. As you
can see above, in 2014, it was home to a
branch of Fratelli's. The Blossom
Square Pavilion (shown below) is close to
Tower Bridge. It is clad in white
bleached timber. The architect's website says of the pavilions that, "... The form of the building is derived from an analysis of movement and views on the site. Its carved form is set within a group of trees that create a veiled view of City Hall. The setting relates to a strong English landscape tradition of grottos and groves and attempts to encourage the public to make use of all of the riverside public space the site has to offer."  |
