King's Cross

King's Cross is one of Europe's most successful and significant urban regeneration projects. Written by the main architects and developer involved, this book provides the most comprehensive overview, from the urban theories that gave rise to it and the design strategies that shaped its form, to the attitudes and principles that inspired its implementation, as well as more concise studies focusing on key aspects of the project. It details each of the individual buildings with insights from the architects responsible. Throughout, it is generously illustrated with historic photos and maps, drawings and diagrams, graphics summarising key data and photographs of both construction phases and the end results.
