ABSTRACT
This is really a building to see on the inside, but you can get into the building’s public art gallery and gain views through to the inner workings (otherwise try the Open House London weekend event). On the outside it is two buildings: a ‘grand manner’ building from the 1920’s adjacent to a new 17,000 sq.m. commercial offi ce building from Foster’s studio (bizarrely posing as SOM circa 1960 via Ungers), unifi ed by Julian Powell-Tuck’s superb interior work (which includes coloured fl oor coding which can be seen from the street).
