Alison & Peter Smithson
Tower Hamlets

Often controversial scheme by Alison and Peter Smithson by the Blackwall Tunnel entrance in Tower Hamlets. Intended as a recreation of working class terraces on a industrial scale, the famous "Streets in the Sky", the estate was neglected for years and is currently in the process of being demolished and redeveloped.
