Testo aggiuntivo
'Seifert's greatest works were sculptural, if controversial, additions to the London skyline. Centre Point... never quite rose to the icon status grated to works by Wren, Eric Bedford or Norman Foster. Yet it is a building that has dated well, standing proud amid the sunken abscess of development at Tottenham Court Road, the drooping fishnet of its façade clean and creamy thanks to the use of Portland stone in the concrete mix.' - Apollo magazine
