  • Blue safety netting from a Westminster construction site, blows in the breeze in central London. Hanging from a point at the top of the building, we see the texture of the netting material, its holes and folds, creases and close stitching that screens off the work being carried out behind on site.

  • Netting protects statues from birds on the roof of Gibson Hall in the capital's Bishopgate Street in the heart of the capital's financial district.

Gibson Hall (1864 - 5), by John Gibson is a fine example of Victorian, neo-classical banking architecture designed as the HQ of a bank that replaced an earlier neo-Palladian mansion.
