Aldermanbury Square is situated in an area of considerable
wealth, with companies such as Lloyds TSB and other financial
companies based nearby. The importance of this is it sets the
background for what is a contemporary design with nice clean
lines of design, high specification materials mixed in with a few
bold artistic statements.
The design itself consists of varying paving sizes to delineate the
spaces functions such as 20 cm granite sets for road and 1mx50cm
for paving and other ranges for planting seating and no go areas.
The design does consist of 2 parts one part out in the open with trees
and moveable benchs and another part consisting of a waterfall which
cosidering how new it looks was under some repair.
The whole site is very nice from a corporate high quality point of
view and possibly one of the few sectors that can afford such a
finish.
However the space isnt without its own charm offering
secluded spaces for secret smokers and plenty of seating
without being cluttered.
Overall it is a nice contemporary site but a little on the
generic side but worth a visit, if not just to see the sculpted
seat and fountain wall when its working.
