We were up in town yesterday evening and happened to pass Bedford Square where there’s an intriguing piece of art/architecture.
Pavilion in Bedford Square
It’s the winner of a competition which was judged on “constructability within a tight schedule and budget, simplicity and elegant form, effective use of material, pavilion as a continuous extension of furniture to roof structure.”
I thought it looked lovely and if you’re in the area well worth a short visit.
More – and better – photos of the pavilion here.
Passed that last week while out on a very lovely walk around Bloomsbury with JJ. We too thought it lovely, but not that lovely that we didn’t walk on and have a great meal at Tas just down the road on the corner of Great Russel Street.
You’re right it’s not a stay all day thing, just a momentary distraction.
Have a look at the photos I took of the pavilion – http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w7G–n2xW94/SLQVBW2wt2I/AAAAAAAAAPQ/lczH4GlwjYY/s1600-h/drltenpavillion4.jpg
Very cool.
