Form Kensington Olympia
This exhibition was a collection of contemporary design mainly focusing on furniture and piece of art work. The exhibition cost us £6 to get in and was worth every pound. There were so many piece's of work i wanted to take home with me but not even a years worth of student loans be enough to buy anything with. But the inspiration and ideas that it's given me made it well worth the trip.

City Scape Earls Court
I went to City Space with much hope that there would be some great new materials and exhibitors showing off there new contemporary designs. This however was not what happened. Instead we got 2,000 fat balding middle aged men in suits all named Colin. I guess this was just more of a glamorised trade fair and if your were working in a practise problem very use full but as a student i didn't take a lot from it.

The Scoop
The Scoop is a stretch of public space which centers in on the City Hall building. It is constantly being used for different events through out the year, such as live events music and cinema's. Of course one of the problem with the site is that you have to share it with Ken Livingston. I really like the site and the use of materials coupled with the fact that there is not a scrap of litter.

Queen Street Pilot Project
The Queen Street Pilot Project is part of the City Of London street scene challenge initiative. The pedestrianisation and removal of traffic from a number of roads has reduced conflicts between people and cars ans minimised the impact of traffic on the local street environment including pollution and noise. The use of high quality natural materials combined with innovative and inter grated design principles have guided the project and helped deliver the landscaping of a number of the streets and spaces along the project route. The project is funded by a partnership between the City Of London, Transport For London and business partners.

Russell Square
Russell Square is Situated south of Kings Cross this square has been redesigned in the last 5 or so years. When i visited it in the late 90's it was out dated and 60's style. The Beatles also used the square for some press shots in the early 60's. Its not a particular contemporary square nor is it a very beautiful one either. In fact it bearly scrapes into this blog.
