The Central St Giles complex was inaugurated in May 2010
尽管全新的中圣贾尔斯建筑群只是在5月底才落成,但它的所有者,合法的
Architect Renzo Piano has cleverly broken the building's mass into separate volumes and 13 different façades, while creating a central courtyard at the heart of the complex with five free access points to the street.
The facade is covered in block-coloured ceramic cladding
Central St Giles is as lively as it is sustainably designed - 'sustainability is not just about energy; this building is also urbanely sustainable', explains Piano - and is ultimately a truly mixed-use building.
Legal & General Property have owned the property on site since 1958
In bright orange, green, red and grey, the building certainly stands out vividly from its neighbours
Piano has not only opened up the site to the public but has also created the conditions for a vivacious community feel to match the area's dynamism.
The colour of the facade and the complex's configuration reflect central London's multi-faceted urban dynamism.
