20 years after Canary Wharf, Cesar Pelli returns to Docklands

摘要

Cesar Pelli is to design a tower in London's Docklands 20 years after his landmark building at Canary Wharf broke ground. The Argentine architect, whose One Canada Square was the tallest building in Europe when it was completed in 1991, will design a tower for the neighbouring ￡4bn Wood Wharf scheme. Pelli and Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates are the first architects to be commissioned to design buildings for the Docklands scheme, which is being masterplanned by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners in association with landscape architect Martha Schwartz. Developer Wood Wharf, a joint venture between British Waterways, Ballymore and the Canary Wharf Group, submitted proposals for outline planning consent last week.
