Downstream Piazza with Homes and Gardens Pavilion on the right, Festival of Britain, South Bank, London: view looking back towards the Shot Tower from the balcony of the Telekinema

RIBA19338
Katz, Bronek (1912-1960)
NOTES: Katz & Vaughan designed the Homes and Gardens Pavilion while Peter Shepheard was responsible for the landscaping of the piazza. The Shot Tower, designed by David Riddal Roper, was built for Thomas Maltby & Company in 1826 and remained in use for the production of lead shot balls until 1949, after which it was incorporated into the scheme for the 1951 Festival of Britain on the South Bank of the River Thames. In 1950 the top of the tower was removed and a steel-framed superstructure was added instead, providing a radio beacon for the duration of the Festival. It was demolished after the Festival to make way for the Queen Elizabeth Hall, which opened in 1967.

Preliminary designs for unexecuted Bath Improvement Scheme: sketch for bandstand with arch

RIBA98439
Atkinson, Robert (1883-1952)
NOTES: Atkinson was commissioned by Bath council in 1915 to produce plans for a scheme of improvements to the city to improve their visitors' cultural experience. Straitened finances during the war - and the cost of implementing this scheme - meant nothing was done at the time and after the war was over the council's focus changed to housing and commercial development. The finished designs were published and exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts to much acclaim in 1916.
