As part of the South Kensington Masterplan, the new Dangoor Plaza and Queen’s Lawn area will include new landscaping and space for a new piece of iconic sculptural art, created by Andrew Gormley, famous for the Angel of The North.
Concerns were raised by Architects Penwarden Hale that the natural weathering of the steel structure would lead to staining and rusting of the pavers that would surround the artwork. Furthermore, with the sculpture set to form the focal point of the South Kensington Campus, the possibility of joint destabilisation caused by high volumes of footfall traffic were also raised.
Following consultations between Penwarden Hale and Resiblock, Resiblock Resiecco was specified to provide both joint stabilisation and long-term stain resistance against rust.
