UK - London - City of London Information Centre - abstract 05 sq

I keep seeing bold colourful semi-abstract shots of buildings on my contacts pages but when I check where they've been taken they're rarely of England. This is one of the things that makes the City of London Information Centre so special, particularly given it's location immediately next to St Paul's Cathedral.

 

Ken Shuttleworth, of Make Architects, said: “Creating a new building for such a high profile and historically sensitive site has been an immense privilege and a fascinating design challenge. Sean and his team have produced a strikingly contemporary design which engages with its context and sets up a new dialogue with St Paul’s opposite. The result is a welcoming and accessible new building which provides all the state-of-the-art information resources needed to assist people in getting the very best out of this incredible city.”
