GUNG-HO ABOUT THE ARSENAL

摘要

Despite the length of time that has elapsed since the project consumed all of his energies, Bob Allies is still bubbling with enthusiasm about the opportunity presented by Woolwich Arsenal. 'At its height, 80,000 people worked there,' he enthuses, standing over the scale model of his masterplan, which has just won the backing of CABE (ajplus 11.11.05). Allies and Morrison's vision for the 'Warren Site' at the Arsenal in south-east London, which housed weapons from the 16th century until it was decommissioned in the 1990s, was submitted to Greenwich council at the end of September.
