Idea Store, Chrisp Street

[from the archives of 2011]
Architects: Adjaye Associates, 2004. Intended to create a warm and inviting interior through the use of coloured glass panels and timber. Received an RIBA Building Award in 2005 and was a forerunner to the Whitechapel Idea Store. The sculpture in foreground looks like giant nails have been hammered into the pavement; sculptor currently unknown by me, installed 1989. London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
