Concrete Elegance:  A Wave, A Walk & Two Wonders

Wednesday 13 April 2011, 6.30 - 8.00pm  Speakers:  Gavin Henderson, Stanton Williams Architects  Mike Tonkin,Tonkin Featuring Stanton Williams' Sainsbury Research Laboratory in Cambridge, housing plants including those collected by Darwin during his voyage on the Beagle and Mike Tonkin of Tonkin Liu Architects presenting the dazzling Dover Esplanade.  Sainsbury Laboratory, University of Cambridge  Speaker: Gavin Henderson  The building is experienced as a sequence of spaces that are conceived in terms of their relationship with the surrounding Botanic Garden. The laboratory's different functions, and the landscape, are connected by a continuous route, recalling the 'thinking path' described by Charles Darwin - a way to reconcile nature and thought through the activity of walking. Here the 'thinking path' is reinterpreted in the tradition of a collegiate court as a space for reflection, debate and interaction.  Dover Esplanade  Speaker: Mike Tonkin  The Dover Esplanade harnesses the architectural language of Dover's identity; the gentle nature of waves on the sheltered beach, the rhythmical sweep of the Georgian Seafront Terrace and the undulating topography of the White Cliffs. The idea of the architecture is expressed as 'three waves' of visual interest that brings a new interactive dynamism to the esplanade: the Lifting Wave is a repeated formation of sculptural ramps and staircases; the Resting Wave is a sculptural precast retaining wall that runs the length of the Esplanade and the Lighting Wave is a sculptural line of white columns with artwork that complements the sweeping form of the sea wall and terrace.  Free to attend, booking is essential.  Book Online  Concrete Elegance is produced by The Building Centre and The Concrete Centre, and is hosted by David Bennett.  The Building Centre Store Street London WC1E 7BT
