Summer

Robin Hood Gardens

04 July 2009 - 26 August 2009

Mon-Sat 10.00-17.00 except Tues 10.00- 21.00

Venue:

Gallery 2, RIBA

Description:

The proposal to demolish Robin Hood Gardens (1968–72), one of the most important schemes designed by Alison and Peter Smithson, has featured prominently in the media and hooked the attention of the architectural community.

See recent photographs by Ioana Marinescu of the twin slab blocks, along with archival images and a documentary film by Martin Ginestie, giving a fresh interpretation of the formal quality of the architecture, the integration of the estate in the transformed landscape around London's docklands, and the intimate lives of its residents.
