Architecture in dialogue at King’s Cross

Centered on a master plan for King’s Cross, London, the book examines projects by architect Demetri Porphyrios and developer Roger Madelin. Its subject is the relationship between historic buildings and newly planned districts, and how that dialogue figures in the creation of city centers. With the Yale School of Architecture identified in the description, the volume presents an architectural and urban-planning perspective on this London redevelopment. The focus is specific: how existing fabric and new development are brought into conversation within a larger plan.
