The new arts complex for South London’s famous Goldsmiths College is nearly finished, this will make Goldsmiths’ ( “World leader in creativity” ) physical presence much more visible and put the New Cross Gate area on the map.
I like these sort of landmark buildings, they help people to feel good about the city they live in and it reminds of Paris in the 1970s when all sorts of interesting new buildings were springing up around Les Halles and La Defence.
Could this one make the shortlist for next year’s building of the year?
