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.
