HENGE - an Festival Commission at
Wren Landing, Canary Wharf.
This sculptural form invites those who work, live and visit the area to engage with it creatively.
Inspired by the Neolithic stone structures that "create a space separate from the outside world," Henge is a space for relaxing and contemplation, as well as a gathering place that attracts and welcomes larger groups of people.
“Entering stone circles is a magical experience and a very physical one, which allows us to connect to
something outside of time,” says Alan Stanton, Principle Director of .
The pavilion itself is made of 150 million year old
Jurassic limestone, a zero carbon, recyclable material. It is intended that lighting will accentuate the form and play against its rich, textured surfaces.
Henge is an LSI Stone, Stanton Williams and Webby Yates engineers initiative in collaboration with Experimenta Design and London Design Festival, with support from SEAM Design Ltd in collaboration with Light Projects and hosted by Canary Wharf at Wren Landing.
HENGE will be in situ at Wren Landing until end of
October 2022.
