“If we use cork for more architectural purposes, we're helping fight against some of the key issues of our generation”
Brewster says, “it’s wonderful to know that ‘Spirit of Place’ has found a new home in such a distinct London location. The surroundings right by the water’s edge will give passers-by a great opportunity to view the sculptures. I'm sure at this time of year, the vibrant collection will continue to be enjoyed by passers-by and the local community, whilst continuing the necessary conversation within design about beauty and sustainability.”
