King's Cross Pond Club

by Andrew Sainsbury

Piquer une tête en ville et en plein air n’est désormais plus un voeu pieux à Londres. C’est au milieu des grues et des sacs de sable du vaste chantier de King’s Cross que les architectes rotterdamois Eva Pfannes et Sylvain Hartenberg, de l’agence Ooze, ont inauguré mi-mai 2015 une nouvelle piscine urbaine. Ce bassin temporaire, baptisé « Of Soil and Water », a été conçu dans le cadre du Relay Art Program, qui propose des installations artistiques jusqu’en 2016, date prévue pour la fin des travaux de réaménagement de ce quartier en plein développement.

This temporary pool called “Of Soil and Water” was designed as part of the “RELAY Art Program,” in which art works will be installed up until the end of the district redevelopment currently underway and due to be completed in 2016.
