Canary Wharf Porn

here's a tour of different views of canary wharf (the pointy one, of course). i happen to like this building and look at it a lot, and these photos span some time. what i have realised though is i don't have one showing how close up canary wharf is actually quite dominated by the surrounding buildings, so doubtless more to come...

first 6 from my bedroom window, due north of the wharf

this one from 'tower gateway' dlr station which is due east and right by tower bridge

this from a bit more north, thru the gasworx i love

and this i took today from greenwich, which is of course south

I have mixed feelings about Pelli's designs, but in particular, I've always thought Canary Wharf was a bit of a chubby skyscraper. Feels like an extrusion of a soulless suburban office park. It's severely lacking in elegance or ambition.

aw, thats a bit harsh. its better than the plain square ones, no? also it is a context thing. if it had been built in the city i may never have noticed it, but on the isle of dogs it has held it's own i think

also, re context, our history with high rise building is very different from the US version, cheap tower blocks thrown up postwar to house the poorest when homelessness and slum clearance became acute, so we are not really used to good vertical buildings. even the city is not like downtown anywhere america, the tall buildings there are few even today. the barbican centre is the only good quality cohesive high rise space, and even that started off life as council housing with an arts centre. visually london is oddly comparable to LA. no grid of course and different trees, but standing on a roof in west hollywood i could see mainly low rise and trees, albeit palm trees, and downtown in a little huddle, and santa monica being the highrise markers. london is a lot like that. quite flat, some hills, mainly low rise, surprisingly green from above, and the city and docklands jabbing upwards, with the remains of highrise housing occasionally dotted about. we have 2 goldfinger council blocks which have become desirable, the rest is living on borrowed time, as one by one they are picked off.obvioulsy now we have the gherkin as well as some other nice ones in the city which are better than the docklands offerings, but when you go down there you get some other visual information - the whole thing is built around the old docks, so it looks like a high rise venice. plus it is ultimately limited as to how far out it can spread because it is on a loopy bit of the river so it is hedged east and west, and there is a major road stopping it going north anytime soon. it has it's limitations, for instance when i was working at the college nearby if you sent students there to draw or take photos they got hassled by security, so it is very business driven, but it is unusual and interesting for us here, in a way that it wouldn't be for you - like when i went to new york and yanks insisted on taking us to see old stuff in museums, we got that in spades so it was hard to get excited, but i loved the skyscraper walking tour we went on and going up the empire state building, and when given the choice i went to visit the guggenheim, of course (and walked back through the park, always good)

are those first few sunset or sunrise? the sun looks really golden in them. also: as always, i love the gas works!

elaine : 23rd May 2005 - 13:17 GMT

the abandoned goods store near tower gateway

very well done, my compliments, i liked the photo thru the gas spires. the building on the right appears to be sitting on a body of water, sim to venice. the dunginess of the industrial area, the projection into the future of beauty and low and behold, ducks in the water. a great vision of photo excellence. you have an eye.

elaine: 23rd Aug 2005 - 16:14 GMT

ta, jack. of course, as it is a gasworks it is very definately not on the water... that would be tres dangereuse. recent canary wharf pic here and there are two more gasworks articles here and here if yr interested. i love them, personally, as i am a big fan of engineering as architecture (hence i also big up the gherkin as i view it as a return to brunel-esque form)
