Daylighting: Natural Light in Architecture

Jubilee Line Extension ^ Canada Water Ron Herron/Imagination

Whilst the daylighting at Southwark is not
evident above ground, being achieved by the
source of daylight concealed in the cone; the
daylight at Canada Water makes its presence
felt at street level by an entrance in the form
of a large glazed entrance cylinder.

The cylinder acts as a daylight lantern to

the escalator halls below, and funnels daylight

deep into the building, providing a dynamic

shadow pattern to the hall.

This is very much in the tradition of some

of Chas. Holden’s original stations such as

Arnos Grove, but with a much clearer

daylight orientation.
