Controversial Zha Two-Tower Plan Greenlit In London
Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast.
This week’s news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com
CONTROVERSIAL ZHA TWO-TOWER PLAN GREENLIT IN LONDON
Zaha Hadid Architects’ (ZHA) Vauxhall Cross Island towers, mixed-use 53- and 42-story skyscrapers linked by a podium on the banks of the Thames River in London, have been greenlit despite controversy, ArchDaily reports. ZHA’s first project in the U.K. for a private client, the towers will include a hotel, offices, retail, residential and public space. Critics have said the development will further congest an already busy interchange and fear the buildings’ 185-m height will contribute to the “canyonization” of the Thames bank. Proponents point out the project’s creation of new public space and affordable housing. Additional details will be released later this year.
