quote 23:10:00
“ The Westway has everything you expect in great architecture, experienced at speed. It has curves and intersecting spaces a baroque architect would die for, delicacy and mass, light and dark. The bright, smooth openness of its top deck is counterpoised by its sinuous undercroft, where light and shadow flicker between the columns as you plunge in and out of tunnels, and glimpses of tree, sky and street, or a canal, flash by like snatches of film. ”
Rowan Moore: Westway is the best way, from the Evening Standard in 2000.
