Dezeen Wire: architecture critic Rowan Moore claims that corporate facilities integrated into the plans for the controversial London River Park would turn it into a “gigantic hospitality suite with a fairly nice walkway threaded through it” – The Observer

Moore describes architects Gensler‘s proposal as “the latest example of a widespread type of the 21st century, the pseudo-public space.” He criticises the design for the walkway and rentable pods, describing them as “offensively indifferent” to their historical surroundings and says the project organisers should learn from New York’s High Line park in order to turn a good idea into a popular public space.
