THE SPACES IN BETWEEN

摘要

Late last month one of London's biggest and most eagerly anticipated public space projects of recent years opened. King's Cross Square was designed by Stanton Williams Architects and replaces the reviled "temporary" corrugated shed that had served as the station's woefully inadequate concourse since the seventies. The square is the culmination of a heroic 16-year £500m redevelopment of the terminus that has not only seen it restored to its former Victorian glory but, in the shape of the new square and John McAslan's spectacular (if dark) Western Concourse, has masterfully rejuvenated the station's historic fabric with vigorous contemporary interventions.
