Projektbeschreibung
Description
Stanton Williams’ wide ranging involvement at the King’s Cross redevelopment includes the design of the new King’s Cross Square, the new £120m Campus for Central St Martins at University of the Arts London and the new King’s Cross Pavillion at Granary Square.
In April 2010, Stanton Williams were announced as the winners of a Network Rail competition for the design of a new 7000m² square to the front of King’s Cross Station, as part of the King’s Cross Redevelopment Programme.
The creation of a new King’s Cross Square presents one of the most exciting urban challenges facing London today.
The Square forms a focal point at the heart of a district which, following decades of neglect, is currently being injected with a new energy through a range of major urban and transport projects. This is a unique opportunity to transform this neglected site into a new space for London; an exemplary public urban square in the city and at the same time create a successful component of this significant transport interchange.
