It’s being provided by High Speed 2, as they are demolishing an old ticket hall from the early days of the London Underground which had been repurposed into a ventilation shaft of its own and also housed an electricity substation. As that’s gone, to keep fresh air flowing, a replacement is needed, and Camden Council has now given approval for this glazed cube.What makes the building stand out, is the facade, which is not just distinctive in design, but also acts as the air outlets for the ventilation system. This is so that the roof, where the ventilation usually sits can be a flat brown roof and more agreeable to look down on from the surrounding buildings. -- ???????? | |||
