Gasholders – meet the architect
WilkinsonEyre'southward founding director Chris Wilkinson introduces the Gasholders project.
King'south Cantankerous is the largest urban evolution scheme in Europe. Its rich industrial heritage is integral to its renaissance. Among the nearly distinctive and cute features to be retained is the triplet of Grade Ii-Listed, cast-iron gasholder guide frames which were originally constructed in 1867.
WilkinsonEyre won a pattern competition in 2002 with a concept for three residential buildings to be housed within the frames. The design proposed three drums of adaptation at differing heights to advise the movement of the original gasholders, which would have risen upwards or downward depending on the pressure level of the gas inside. The pattern was developed to create a dynamic counterpoint between old and new. The heavy industrial aesthetic and raw physical materiality of the guide frames contrast with the lightness and intricacy of the interior spaces.
Join Chris as he explains some of the project'southward history and pattern rationale. Please note, we are keeping the group size small and capping the event at 25 to allow for an intimate feel.

King's Cross continues its exploration of Material Heroes with this commission of prototypes by smarin studio. 'Hemp - Clay - Lime: Urban Seating' is a presentation of the research and development by smarin studio and constitutes the initial testing stage for a future large-scale public realm seating scheme with carbon-sequestering potential.
Hexagon shaped, the modular design mimics the efficiencies constitute everywhere in nature - honeycomb, fruit skins, dragonfly eyes - to brand strong, solid structures that provide space options for placement.
The core is fabricated from hemp shiv, a waste product from the hemp fibre industry, and hydrated lime. The outer layer is a fibrous lime plaster, coloured with clay. Both hemp and lime are incredibly hard-wearing and resilient, naturally derived materials, and both are likewise considered to be carbon negative every bit they capture more carbon than information technology takes to produce and transport them.
These are not new techniques. The Ancient Romans used hydraulic lime and added natural components to ensure the hardening of plaster in wet or common cold atmospheric condition, many examples of which still exist today. Lime-washed walls abound, ofttimes in places exposed to extremely harsh weather condition conditions.
For more twenty years, smarin has actively researched and used non-toxic materials. With this new work they are keeping ancient cognition alive, designing and manufacturing sculptural forms to enhance our shared spaces.
