The Albion Islington Square gateway marker will provide a beacon for the BIA at the centre of a vast intersection. Elements and layout respond to the triangular shape of the intersection and provides three (3) triangular, vertical columns that can face vehicular traffic in each direction. Each of the three columns are identical but each is oriented differently, conveying “Albion Islington Square” in all directions. The layout includes a paved space created by bisecting the triangular configuration of the columns. Paving and benches provide a place for pedestrians to rest or wait for the bus.

The client group selected a scheme that was a blend of 3 site plan options of layout and materials. The preferred scheme is a welcoming place which highlights the name of the BIA in cut into weathering steel panels and backed with translucent resin panels and lit internally with solar powered LED lights.
