Architectural transformations on the Market Square in Krakow A systematic visual catalogue Jean-Yves BLAISE Iwona DUDEK Different faces of one ‘idea’ Section three, presents a selection of analogous examples (European public use and commercial buildings) so as to help the reader weigh to which extent the layout of Krakow’s marketplace, as well as its architectures, can be related to other sites. Market Square in Krakow is paradoxically at the same time a typical example of medieval marketplace and a unique site. But the frontline between what is common and what is unique can be seen as “somewhat fuzzy”. Among these examples readers should observe a number of unexpected similarities, as well as sharp contrasts in terms of form, usage and layout of buildings.

  • St Giles: a Renewed London Quarter Emerges
    St Giles: A Renewed London Quarter Emerges § £2 billion regeneration § 60,000 sq ft of dining space § 58% Tech & Media occupation 08 September, London, United Kingdom - The redevelopment of the iconic London landmark, Centre Point, together with an influx of new retail brands, dining and leisure operators, plus the anticipated arrival of the Elizabeth line at Tottenham Court Road has triggered the rejuvenation of the area around the eastern end of Oxford Street and St Giles in the capital’s West End. The area is poised for great growth, driven by the imminent arrival (2018) of the Elizabeth line and the redevelopment of the station at Tottenham Court Road at the eastern end of Oxford Street, which will see more than 100m passengers pass through it each year – three times more than the current volume. This, together with an influx of new retail brands, dining and leisure operators, residential development and high profile tech and media businesses – the ever-growing interest in the area has been supported by more than £2 billion of regeneration. A comprehensive report launching today – A renewed London quarter emerges – has been produced by leading property consultants, Colliers International, in partnership with New West End Company, The Fitzrovia Partnership and Midtown Business Improvement Districts. It charts the intense activity in the St Giles area and its transformation since 2008 from what was previously a little known area of London, into an exciting hub of commercial and private investment developments, including unique dining destinations, to become a vibrant location that puts St Giles firmly on the map.
