The scheme for Capital & Counties Properties creates a seamless urban connection between the site, its existing neighbourhood and the emerging Earls Court Masterplan. Ian Hawksworth, Chief Executive of Capco said: “This is a significant milestone ‐ an exciting opportunity to transform the area, creating hundreds of new homes and jobs." John McAslan said: "We are delighted that the Council’s planning committee has granted detailed planning permission for what will be an important new London quarter." The site is located just to the south of the Earls Court Exhibition Centre. Phase 1 is expected to start in 2013, followed by Phase 2 in 2014.

John McAslan + Partners - Latest Building Addition Iron Market, Port-au-Prince, Haiti 2011 photo : Allison Shelley Iron Market Haiti When the Haiti earthquake mangled Port-au-Prince’s Iron Market, it destroyed a symbol of the nation. Built in France and bound for Cairo to serve as a railway station, the vagaries of history, tides or captains led it to end up here, where it served as a perfectly good market hall until ravaged first by fire in 2008 and then by earthquake. Stanislavsky Centre, Moscow, Russia 2011 photograph © John McAslan + Partners Stanislavsky Centre Redevelopment by John McAslan + Partners of the historic 4ha Stanislavsky factory and theatre site in central Moscow transformed a degraded mixture of 19th century and 20th century building stock into a vivid cultural and mixed-use development. John McAslan + Partners - Exhibition News Compassion for the Kabaris, London, England. 29 Aug 2011 image © Raghu Rai An exhibition of renowned photo-journalist Raghu Rai's work opens at leading architect's gallery Title: Compassion for the Kabaris: Delhi’s Wastepickers at the heart of a bold new green initiative Dates/times of exhibition: runs until 30 Sep, Mon-Fri 8.30am-6.30pm Venue: William Road Gallery, 7-9 William Road, London NW1 3ER | Tel: 020 7313 6000 The eminent Indian photo-journalist Raghu Rai's exhibition, Compassion for the Kabaris, is now open at The William Road Gallery, with a selection of nineteen works vividly portraying the lives of the waste-pickers who comb through the tons of waste dumped on Delhi’s biggest landfill site, Ghazipur, recycling as they go. The exhibition, commissioned and hosted by award-winning architectural practice John McAslan + Partners, draws attention to the work of Chintan (Environmental Research and Action Group) at Ghazipur. Chintan places waste-pickers – the Kabaris – at the heart of a new national initiative to improve the lives of Kabari families, whilst highlighting the urgent need for better organised and more humane waste recycling. The initiative aims to ultimately stop children becoming Kabaris - an estimated 179 of the 690 children living in the Ghazipur landfill community in 2011 worked as Kabaris, whilst only 221 attended school. Rai’s photographs are not covert snatch-shots, nor are they meant to shock. The images are compassionate portraits revealing the details of the lives of the Kabaris: glimpses of effort and dignity, flashes of ebullience and the rigours of survival flickering vividly in an otherwise squalid landscape. The exhibition describes the unique character of the Kabaris of Ghazipur: this community of over 1,100 people is entirely dependent on recycling for a living; and picked out items from landfills are, in turn, crucial to the thousands of small shop owners and tailors in Delhi for the creation of marketable goods. Rai's photographs sit within the gallery space established by John McAslan + Partners, an architectural practice known for its work within neglected communities around the world; from the restoration of the Iron Market in Haiti, to a modular school design for rural Malawi. Following the exhibition at The William Road Gallery, Compassion for the Kabaris will be on display at Dunoon Burgh Hall in Argyll, Scotland.
