  • Never in the Field of Urban Geology Have So Many Granites Been Looked At
    Urban Geology in London No. 22 Never in the field of urban geology have so many granites been looked at by so few! A stroll along the Victoria Embankment from Charing Cross to Westminster & Blackfriars Bridge Ruth Siddall & Di Clements This walk starts outside Charing Cross station and then turns down Villier’s Street to the Thames Embankment. The walker then must take a choice (or retrace their steps). One may either follow the Embankment east along the River Thames to Blackfriars Bridge, taking in Victoria Embankment Gardens and Cleopatra’s Needle on the way. Alternative, one may turn westwards towards Westminster and take in the RAF Memorial and the new Battle of Britain Memorial. A variety of London transport options can be picked up at the mainline and underground stations at either ends of the walk. The inspiration for this walk is a field trip that Di Clements led, on behalf of the Geologists’ Association, for the Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC) on 18th September 2014 (Clements pers. comm.). Although the main focus of this walk is the embankment, we will also encounter a number of buildings and monument en route. As ever, information on architects and architecture is gleaned from Pevsner (Bradley & Pevsner, 1999; 2003) unless otherwise cited. By far and away, the main rock we will encounter on this walk is granite. Granite comes in many varieties, but always has the same basic composition, being composed of the major rock forming minerals, quartz, orthoclase and plagioclase feldspar and mica, either the variety muscovite or biotite or both.

  • Character Overview Westminster Has 56 Designated Conservation Areas
    Westminster’s Conservation Areas - Character Overview Westminster has 56 designated conservation areas which cover over 76% of the City. These cover a diverse range of townscapes from all periods of the City’s development and their distinctive character reflects Westminster’s differing roles at the heart of national life and government, as a business and commercial centre, and as home to diverse residential communities. A significant number are more residential areas often dominated by Georgian and Victorian terraced housing but there are also conservation areas which are focused on enclaves of later housing development, including innovative post-war housing estates. Some of the conservation areas in south Westminster are dominated by government and institutional uses and in mixed central areas such as Soho and Marylebone, it is the historic layout and the dense urban character combined with the mix of uses which creates distinctive local character. Despite its dense urban character, however, more than a third of the City is open space and our Royal Parks are also designated conservation areas. Many of Westminster’s conservation areas have a high proportion of listed buildings and some contain townscape of more than local significance. Below provides a brief summary overview of the character of each of these areas and their designation dates. The conservation area audits and other documentation listed should be referred to for more detail on individual areas. 1. Adelphi The Adelphi takes its name from the 18th Century development of residential terraces by the Adam brothers and is located immediately to the south of the Strand. The southern boundary of the conservation area is the former shoreline of the Thames.

  • Iniva to Relocate to Ual's Chelsea College of Arts
    PRESS RELEASE 21 September 2019 INIVA TO RELOCATE TO UAL’S CHELSEA COLLEGE OF ARTS CAMPUS Institutions strengthen collaboration to advance debate on race, culture and gender Iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts) and University of the Arts London (UAL) are delighted to announce that Iniva is moving to 16 John Islip Street, on the campus of UAL’s Chelsea College of Arts, in September 2018. The Stuart Hall Library is the critical and creative hub for Iniva’s pioneering programme that challenges conventional notions of difference and diversity. Its move to the Chelsea College of Arts campus will establish further space to develop Iniva’s collection of over 10,000 books and journals. A new dedicated archive area will be created alongside flexible spaces for events. Designed to generate discussion and encourage collaboration, these activities will be open to everyone. As a National Portfolio Organisation (NPO), Iniva is an independent organisation, governed by a board of trustees that receives its core funding from Arts Council England. The move reflects a long history of collaboration with Chelsea College of Arts, highlighting connections to recent research projects such as Black Artists and Modernism. There is also a shared history with world renowned alumni, curators and artists such as Yinka Shonibare MBE RA, Isaac Julien CBE RA, Professor Sonia Boyce MBE RA and the curator David A. Bailey MBE. Both Iniva and UAL’s Chelsea College of Arts aim to develop a long-term partnership that addresses post-colonial narratives, advancing research on race, culture and gender. This shared ambition means that the two institutions will continue to facilitate critical debates by academics, students, local residents and the wider creative community.

  • Victoria Embankment Foreshore Hoarding Commission
    Victoria Embankment Foreshore Hoarding Commission 1 Introduction ‘The Thames Wunderkammer: Tales from Victoria Embankment in Two Parts’, 2017, by Simon Roberts, commissioned by Tideway This is a temporary commission located on the Thames Tideway Tunnel construction site hoardings at Victoria Embankment, 2017-19. Responding to the rich heritage of the Victoria Embankment, Simon Roberts has created a metaphorical ‘cabinet of curiosities’ along two 25- metre foreshore hoardings. Roberts describes his approach as an ‘aesthetic excavation of the area’, creating an artwork that reflects the literal and metaphorical layering of the landscape, in which objects from the past and present are juxtaposed to evoke new meanings. Monumental statues are placed alongside items that are more ordinary; diverse elements, both man-made and natural, co-exist in new ways. All these components symbolise the landscape’s complex history, culture, geology, and development.

He predominantly takes large format photographs with great technical precision, frequently from elevated positions.
