Architect Gordon Shrigley analyses the recently completed Hackney Gardens project - Credit: Benedict Luxmoore Architect Gordon Shrigley takes a look at how building materials can showcase an area's varied history and analyses the recently completed Hackney Gardens project. To design a new part of a city requires the diligent architect to consider whether to enhance what already exists or to demolish and start again. Cities, on the whole, come to be not by the imposition of a grand masterplan, but mainly through happenstance. All cities are the result of many competing hands, each with a unique view. The architectural character of Hackney, for instance, is the product of 500 years, give or take, of the competing interests of Georgian nobility, Victorian capitalism, local democracy and more recently, the direct result of a housing shortage that has caused us to increasingly build dwellings as short-term investment vehicles rather than long-term homes.
Think of progressive rock and what immediately comes to mind is caped keyboard players navigating a sea of wires connected to their Moog. Yet many of the pivotal players in prog rock have been guitarists, and there are easily as many earth-shaking guitar solos in prog as there are in hard rock or metal. Sometimes those prog guitarists are the leader and mastermind of their band, sometimes they’re the player who keeps those cosmic flights well-grounded. This list pays tribute to some of prog’s landmark ax-slingers. 25: Steve Rothery (Marillion) In both the Fish and Steve Hogarth incarnations, Marillion was always an unconventional prog band. They avoided instrumental prowess for its own sake, preferring slow and stately pieces built largely around the vocal. Steve Rothery can be a model of restraint, playing mood-enhancing textural parts, but he can also deliver a solo as dramatic as the one on “Easter,” Hogarth’s lament for Northern Ireland.
Camilla Patini Cyclists and pedestrians share the space on Narrow Way, Hackney Central. - Credit: Polly Hancock Hackney pedestrians have reported being increasingly worried about safety along the Narrow Way, with some calling for cyclists to be banned from the shared zone. Narrow Way was previously open to motor vehicles like buses and cars, but was redesigned in 2013 as a shared space for pedestrians and cyclists. However, residents like Rhonda Bickles have lodged complaints with the council about cyclists and those on electric scooters travelling at high speeds through the space. Rhonda said: “Cyclists and people on electric scooters just go mad down there. This is very dangerous. Something ought to be done.”
