Last night on my way to New Globe Walk, St Paul's: quiet, lots of people walking, lots of people shopping, birdsong, misty rain and roses.
The Sainsbury Wing where a new exhibition combines the art of Johannes Vermeer and his Dutch contemporaries with musical instruments of the time, songbooks and music from the Academy of Ancient Music. The Crawford Arts Review will carry an appraisal at a later date.
This is the courtyard of the White Cube Gallery in Bermondsey I showed earlier. Everything in the architect's toolbox has been used to define the space well: the setts, the vertical steel fencing, the white-blocking of the building opposite. Even straggly elements like the cable snaking its way horizontally across the side elevation of the white building seem to integrate themselves into the scheme. Hats off I say to Casper Mueller Kneer.
Looks interesting passing it in the bus.
