St Pancras International Station - Cathedral of a Station
In the 1960's they tried to pull down St Pancras Station but the history people prevented them. Now the building is being restored and turned into an international station. The main train shed, completed in 1868 by an engineer William Henry Barlow, was the largest single-span structure in the world (built up to that time). The frontage of the station, formerly the Midland Grand Hotel, was built by the architect George Gilbert Scott between1868 and 1877 and is an incredible example of Victorian gothic architecture.

Ralph Vaughan Williams - A Vision of Aeroplanes - Finzi Singers/Spicer, Bicket
Performed by the Finzi Singers, director Paul Spicer, organist Harry Bicket, in the church of Saint Alban the Martyr, Holborn, London, on 26th & 27th September 1990 and released as Chandos CHAN 9019. I do not own any rights to this recording, but thought it would be of interest to many. Sadly, this most excellent CD, featuring works by Vaughan Williams and Howells (including the latter's Requiem), has been deleted from Chandos' catalogue and is only available as a digital download or as a CD-R. However, I still suggest that you support Chandos by buying it in one of these formats: see www.chandos.net Maybe we could persuade them to re-release it properly! Programme notes copyright Paul Spicer, 1992, with tiny modifications by myself: Ralph Vaughan Williams' "A Vision of Aeroplanes" was written in 1955 for Harold Darke and his St Michael's Singers (of St Michael's church, Cornhill, in the City of London, where Darke was organist for many years). The composer took a section of Chapter One of Ezekiel, which, if read in a particular way, seems to foresee the aeroplane: "I looked, and behold, a whirlwind came out of the North, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself... Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures... and every one had four faces and... four wings... and the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning... their appearance and their work was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel... and when the ...

Gil-Scott Heron

Anish Kapoor in Tate Modern
Tate Modern is Britain's national museum of modern art in London. The galleries are housed in the former Bankside Power Station, which was originally designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the architect responsible for Battersea Power Station, and built in two stages between 1947 and 1963. The power station closed in 1981. Since its opening on May 12, 2000, it has become a very popular destination for Londoners and tourists. Entry is free. Marsyas, Anish Kapoor sculpture for the Turbine Hall, comprises three steel rings joined together by a single span of PVC membrane. Two are positioned vertically, at each end of the space, while a third is suspended parallel with the bridge. Seemingly wedged into place, the geometry generated by these three rigid steel structures determines the sculptures overall form, a shift from vertical to horizontal and back to vertical again. Kapoor began the project in January 2002, soon realising that the only way he could challenge the daunting height of the Turbine Hall was, paradoxically, to use its length. He approached the space as a rectangular box with a shelf (the bridge) in the middle of it, and over many months, explored its potential through a series of drawings and sculptural maquettes. Human scale and the relationship of the viewer to the work was central to his thinking. The title refers to Marsyas, a satyr in Greek mythology, who was flayed alive by the god Apollo. The sculptures dark red colour suggests something of the physical ...

the thing with feathers (that perches in the soul) by loz atkinson for BT ArtBox raising vital funds for childline in it's 25th year. Celebrating the 25th anniversary of ChildLine, BT has announced the launch of the BT ArtBox project. Leading artists, designers and creatives from around the world have been invited to apply their individual talents to re-style that much-loved icon of British design, the traditional red telephone box. Each artist or designer will take delivery of a full-size, fibre-glass replica of the Sir Giles Gilbert Scott-designed original K6 telephone kiosk, which was introduced in 1936 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of the coronation of King George V. Participating artists include 2002 Turner prize winner Keith Tyson, Romero Britto and Royal Academician Professor of Sculpture David Mach, along with fashion designers Giles Deacon and Zandra Rhodes. The BT ArtBoxes will be on display in high-profile locations around the capital between June 18 and July 16 before being auctioned off at a VIP Gala Auction at the National Portrait Gallery on July 18 to raise funds for BT's long-time partner ChildLine. Esther Rantzen OBE, founder of ChildLine and patron of the BT ArtBox project, said: "I'm thrilled that ChildLine's 25th birthday is to be celebrated by such a unique and inspiring project as BT Artbox.

London - Tate Modern - Masfotografias.com
The Tate Modern in London is Britain's national museum of international modern art and is, with Tate Britain, Tate Liverpool, Tate St Ives, and Tate Online[1], part of the group now known simply as Tate. The galleries are housed in the former Bankside Power Station, which was originally designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the architect of Battersea Power Station, and built in two stages between 1947 and 1963. The power station closed in 1981. The building was converted by architects Herzog & de Meuron, after which it stood at 99m tall. The southern third of the building was retained by the French power company EDF Energy as an electrical substation (in 2006, the company released half of this holding).[2] Since the museum's opening on 12 May 2000, it has become a very popular destination for Londoners and tourists. Entry to collection displays and some temporary exhibitions is free. The permanent collection of Tate Modern is on display on levels three and five of the building, while level four houses large temporary exhibitions and a small exhibition space on level 2 houses work by contemporary artists. When the gallery opened in 2000, the collections were not displayed in chronological order but were rather arranged thematically into four broad groups: History/Memory/Society; Nude/Action/Body; Landscape/Matter/Environment; and Still Life/Object/Real Life. This was ostensibly because a chronological survey of the story of modern art along the lines of the Museum of Modern ...
