pics 1 and 2: the royal festival hall (that was opened on 3 may 1951 for the festival of britain) nowadays.
pic 3: the hall and shot tower from hungeford bridge. the tower was built in 1826 and incorporated into the development of the bank in 1951. it was demolished shortly afterwards.
pic 4: carpet designed for the royal festival hall by peter moro and leslie martin in 1951. the pattern known more commonly as the 'net & ball' design is an abstract version of the square wave seen with the aid of a oscilloscope - the visual representation of sound. peter moro related how when he had drawn the 'net', leslie martin, the chief architect, placed the 'ball' that completed it, inspired by an apple he had on his desk at the time.
