Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate

Alexandra Road may be seen as the culminating effort by Neave Brown to apply the principles of the London terrace house to the design of high-density public housing. The 5 rowhouses on Winscombe Street built by Brown in 1967 for the architect and his friends were the first experiment with the terrace type. The Camden Town project at Fleet Road begun about the same time was a further application of the idea, now with over 50 dwellings, arranged in parallel, terraced rows. Alexandra road represents the application of the terraced theme on an enormous scale. Because Camden has three main rail stations, there is much rail-frontage land in this part of the city. Alexandra Road is built on one of these difficult frontage sites along the Euston line.

King's College London was founded by King George IV and the Duke of Wellington (then Prime Minister) in 1829 as a university college in the tradition of the Church of England. It now welcomes staff and students of all faiths and beliefs.
King's professors played a major part in nineteenth-century science, and in extending higher education to women, working men and through evening classes.
The College has grown and developed through mergers with several institutions who have their own distinguished histories. These include the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals; Chelsea College, Queen Elizabeth College, and the Institute of Psychiatry.

His mausoleum is in the town of Rissani in the Tafilalt region. There is also a town named after him in the Meknès-Tafilalet Region.

Central St. Giles Court by Renzo Piano & Fletcher Priest Architects

The proposed concept for the site was to transform a single-use office building into a genuinely mixed use development incorporating office, retail, restaurant and residential use; seeking to create a new destination integrated within the local area.
The architects chose to situate the buildings around a new courtyard in the center of the site, which is connected by a publicly accessible route and ground floor public uses to the surrounding streets and spaces.
The key elements of the scheme were to introduce activity into the area, provide a mix of uses particularly retail, restaurants and housing introducing daytime and night time surveillance, and creating a properly managed and controlled environment which is reflected in the urban design approach to the layout of retail units, spaces and pedestrian routes.
