Central Saint Giles

Central Saint Giles
Central Saint Giles is a mixed-use development in central London. Built at a cost of £450 million and completed in May 2010, it was designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano and is his first work in the UK. The development consists of two buildings of up to 15 storeys in height, arranged around a public courtyard lined with shops and restaurants. It is chiefly notable for its façades, covered with 134,000 glazed tiles in vivid shades of green, orange, lime and yellow. It has attracted a number of high-profile tenants including NBCUniversal, MindShare and Google.

Ich glaube dieses Gebäude hat eine Menge Diskussionen ausgelöst. Ich habe schon viele Fotos von diesem Komplex gesehen. Deine Lösung gefällt mir sehr gut. Ich schwanke zwischen „Genial“ und „Nicht besonders“, aber wenn man das Umfeld sieht, ist die Lösung wahrscheinlich „Perfekt“.

I think this building has a lot of discussion triggered. I have seen many photos of this complex. Your solution pleases me very well. I vacillate between "Brilliant" and "Not particularly," but when you see the environment, the solution is probably "Perfect".

Shockingly bright coverage of a quite conventional building. Seems perfect for 'new age' companies with their front of difference but innards of traditional capital.

Thoroughly depressing and a painful screech on the senses. Renzo Piano should take his junk designs elsewhere and not inflict them on the British landscape.
