Client: ICON Magazine
Location: Old Street , London
Alma-nac were one of five architect practices invited to put forward a proposal for the re-development of Old Street Roundabout on behalf of ICON magazine. Old Street: a station, a roundabout, a void, the meeting point of four roads, a cyclist’s hell. What we think Old Street needs is more fun. A space for festivals, for picnics, for community and activity. We propose an urban green to act as an epicentre filling what is now a void. Ultimately the Old Street Green is an exercise in colour, form and fun based around the brief of a meeting place. We’ve designed a destination out of a crossroads.
