The Tapestry Building in King’s Cross has been shortlisted for a New London Architecture Award in the Residential Category. The awards look to showcase the best of architecture and development in the Capital. The residential project is part of the large scale redevelopment of King’s Cross in a joint venture between developer Argent, London and Continental Railways and DHL Supply Chain.
Architecture critic Rowan Moore has written a review of the Bishop Edward King Chapel with the title “The Answers to their Prayers” that was published in the Observer Magazine. The article touches on the broader themes of the interpretation and appropriation of religious symbolism in architecture, and in this context praises the paradoxical nature of the chapel; “It is…heavy and light, a bastion and a boat, a wall and a drape. It has presence, but doesn’t dominate.” Describing the form and materiality of the building Moore writes, “The building is crafted and considered: it makes ideas physical: it has intentions and carries them out in its space and matter.”
