Viacom building London

摘要

For more than two decades after TV-am ceased broadcasting, its iconic Terry Farrell-designed Camden headquarters remained highly recognisable as the breakfast tv station's studios, now owned by entertainment group Viacom. But now, although the egg cup gables remain, this link has otherwise largely been broken following an extensive reworking by architect Jacobs Webber for Viacom, whose brands include Nickelodeon and MTV. TV-am's original Hawley Crescent facade (left), with its sunrise motifs and elaborate keystone archway, is now gone, replacedby new curtain walling and a living wall-lined courtyard. The rear is more lightly altered, with careful insertion of new and adapted Crittall windows.
