On my travels I am always looking out for new structures that can influence my own design ideas. I took this photo at Stratford train station of the main bus station. The flute-like columns are similar to the shape of my water pools in the Bathhouse. I researched this structure on the web and saw how at night the shelter transforms into something very vibrant and dramatic compared to how it apears in the daytime. The following link is the website of it's designers, Architen Landrell Ltd, who have used similar materials in their designs for the British Museum cafe and the entrance of Surrey Instiutute of Art and Design.
