Butler Wiltshire Architects, London
Architectural photography of The City Clusters London, by London based Butler Wiltshire Architects.
Created by Butler Wiltshire Architects for the City of London Corporation, this design is based on the traditional coats of arms of the City Livery Companies, and features terracotta from @darwenterracotta and reclaimed timber seats.
In the words of the designers: “The sculptural, tessellating modules have been designed to respond to the City’s unique architectural heritage and provide much-needed pockets of seating and greenery within the high-rise Eastern City district…These symbols are synonymous with the City and can be seen throughout the district, typically on buildings, gateways and street furniture. From the archetypal shield motif, a subtly altered, tessellating tile geometry was developed. This was extruded to create vessels of six different heights, with the same basic form used to create both seats and planters.”
