Leicester Square Project
18th Feb 2009
I visited Burns + Nice's practice in Farrington and met up with Chris, one of the Landscape Architects. He talked me through a few of the practices projects including the prestigious Leicester Square project. He explained how they took inspiration from cinema usherettes in the old days. In particular they looked at the white flowing scarves and hence came up with a white granite ribbon which will be a 200m long seat which frames the garden.
Chris showed me around the office and introduced me to all 15 members of the design team who comprised of; urban designers, town planners, landscape architects and architects. Everyone seemed friendly and professional.
