Central St Martins move to Kings Cross

Whilst modelling at a show I couldn't help noticing the architecture. The site was huge 67 acres of a Grade II listed warehouse to be precise. Central St martins the well established University is out growing its many sites and needs to house the artists and designers of the future under one roof. The whole of Kings Cross is being regenerated into an Art hub, which would be great for the run down squalid areaArchitect Richard Wardle of Stanton Williams had been working closely with CSM to include everything they need. The beauty of the scheme is the rich historic concrete juxtaposed against new contemporary buildings. Moving CSM also has its risks as CSM has established links with the industry within the West End and local suppliers, however they hope to establish this in Kings Cross. I throughly enjoyed wondering around the site and I hope you enjoy the images I snapped along the way.
