Mather's South Bank masterplan unveiled

Article Abstract:

The design proposed by architect Rick Mather for the redevelopment of the South Bank Centre in London, England, is based around a large new park constructed on a large site currently occupied by Jubilee Gardens and Hungerford Car Park. Under the park, there would be a 1,100-seat concert hall, a multiplex cinema, a film centre and parking for 380 cars. Mather also recommends the demolition of the existing elevated walkways, replacing them with a narrow bridge connecting Waterloo Bridge with the raised terrace in front of the Royal Festival Hall. Development will be in three stages, with completion due in 2007.
