Architecture Post Modern Post War
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic One Canada Square, a symbol of post-modern architecture in London. Designed by renowned architects Cesar Pelli, Adamson Associates, and Frederick Gibberd Coombes between 1988 and 1991, this towering structure stands tall amidst the bustling cityscape. Its sleek lines and distinctive shape make it an unmistakable landmark. In the foreground of this image, we see another architectural gem called Cascades. This masterpiece was created by CZWG in 1987-88 and perfectly complements the grandeur of One Canada Square. The juxtaposition of these two structures beautifully captures the essence of post-war and post-modern design. Derek Kendall's expert photography skillfully captures every detail, allowing us to appreciate both the individuality and harmony within this architectural ensemble. The play of light on glass facades creates a mesmerizing visual effect that adds depth to the photograph. As we gaze upon this print from Historic England's collection, we are transported back in time to an era when innovation redefined London's skyline. It serves as a reminder that architecture is not just about functionality but also about pushing boundaries and creating lasting impressions. Without mentioning commercial use or any specific company associated with these buildings, Derek Kendall's photograph invites us to marvel at London's rich architectural heritage while celebrating its evolution into a modern metropolis.
