Through The Round Window by Dan Biggins
The domed window in The Great Conservatory, Syon House, West London. The Great Conservatory in the gardens, designed by Charles Fowler in 1828 and completed in 1830, was the first conservatory to be built from metal and glass on a large scale. The conservatory was shown in a dream sequence in Meera Syal’s 1993 film Bhaji on the Beach. It was also the setting for the music video to The Cure’s 1984 single “The Caterpillar”, directed by Tim Pope. Canon 400D, 1/250, f9, Sigma 10-20 @ 10mm, ISO100 See more of my work at Dan Biggins Photography.

1.998 – 2.002 Cliente / Client: Autoridades Locales – Local Authorities / Arquitecto / Architect: Foster + Partners / Tipo / Type: Oficinas – Office / Plantas / Floors: 11 / Uso / Use: Mixto – Mixed / Superficie / Surface: 12.000 m² – 129.171 ft² ESPAÑOL El City Hall se encuentra localizado en South Bank, en el margen sur del río Támesis a la altura de la Torre de Londres y el famoso Puente Torre. El edificio acoge la nueva Sede del Ayuntamiento de Londres y cuenta con oficinas destinadas a la Administración Local, así como diferentes espacios como un Salón de Plenos, una Biblioteca Pública, un Restaurante y varias Salas de Congresos y Conferencias. Una rampa de forma helicoidal de 730 metros de longitud y que se va reduciendo a medida que va ascendiendo, se abre al público de forma ocasional para dar acceso superior a una terraza con vistas panorámicas en la planta número 11; esta rampa ofrece también acceso inferior a nivel de sótano por donde se puede salir al exterior del recinto donde se encuentra un Anfiteatro en el que se celebran todo tipo de actos públicos y conciertos durante gran parte del año. La forma del edificio consta de una serie de plantas ovales descentradas, que se sitúan de manera estratégica para que la fachada que da a la parte sur tenga salientes que dan sombra y la zona norte aproveche la luz natural en su interior. El edificio también aprovecha el agua subterránea del río para que el sistema de aire acondicionado la enfríe; además, el agua empleada en este sistema es reciclada y posteriormente se reutiliza para los propios servicios sanitarios del edificio. Por todas estas innovaciones importantes el City Hall se ha convertido en uno de los primeros edificios ecológicos del Siglo XXI. El diseño del edificio se eligió de entre 55 propuestas diferentes y se ha convertido en muy poco tiempo en todo un auténtico icono para la ciudad. Norman Foster optimizó el uso de la energía en estas modernas instalaciones ahorrando hasta un 75 % más que en un edificio de tipo convencional.
