Taken during a wander round Nine Elms last Summer, this is one of the immediately recognisable 'Pompidou-esque' vents of the Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners 'Riverlight Quay' development.
As someone that has spent about 35 years photographing Richard Rogers iconic buildings I was sad to hear that he died just before Christmas. His most famous works such as the Pompidou and Lloyds of London will ensure his name lives on.
I'm thinking later this Spring I might well organise a London Flickr Group Photowalk around the area. If that's something that might be of interest then join the group and keep an eye on the discussions. You can find us here : www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup/

From the Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners website, "Riverlight transforms a triangular, five-acre industrial estate – close to Battersea Power Station on the south bank of the River Thames – into a residential-led mixed use development, creating a transition between the large footprints of the power station and the smaller residential developments to the east.
The scheme includes 813 homes, underground parking, crèche, restaurants, bars, a food store and other retail spaces. It incorporates a river walk and landscaping to take full advantage of its location and create attractive public spaces for the local community. The development is made up of six buildings, arranged in a rising-form composition, ranging in height from 12 to 20 storeys and giving the development a varied skyline. Around 60 per cent of the scheme is designated as public open space."
