Each time I visit our building project in Burlington Gardens, it looks more heroic: the scale of the demolition, the size of the building, the numbers of people working on site. Today, I went nearly to the top and was able to see the sculptures on the façade newly cleaned and close up.
This is Francis Bacon:-
John Locke:-
Adam Smith:-
The scaffolding is a cat’s cradle:-
And the crane a terrifying height:-
Your fearless ascent to the top of 6BG was worth it for those close-up photographs. Thank you.
It is indeed an heroic building and will bring great credit to the Academy.
