Architecture Update: Camden campaign
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.LAST-MINUTE efforts are being made to prevent the demolition of a Seventies Camden Council-owned home for the disabled designed by the architects of Truro Law Courts and the new Tate at St Ives, Evans and Shalev, after a certificate of immunity from listing was issued by the Department of the Environment last month. Camden Council wants to sell the site for new social housing on the grounds that, although only 17 years old, the Evans and Shalev design 'no longer conforms to requirements in the health field'. Although the building cannot now be listed, English Heritage is urging Camden Council to declare this part of the borough a conservation area. If the council agrees, it would be obliged to look at ways of reusing the building.
