Flowing into the Marketing Suite for Santiago Calatrava’s Peninsula Place, the NOW Gallery in Greenwich Peninsula is a mass of colour, geometry and reflections with its current installation, Walala X Play, by Camille Walala, loved by children who take off their shoes to explore the reflections, the maze-like corridors, and the different geometric patterns which have a puzzle inside them waiting to be solved.   The relationship with the Marketing Suite means that they also explore the exhibition on Peninsula Place itself, which must be a good way to introduce young people into the world of architecture.  Perhaps the RIBA should try bringing in more art exhibitions to compliment the architectural ones in Portland Place, and thus bring in a new audience?

The NOW Gallery has also been active with a number of public realm commissions around the Peninsula, in particular on the cranes currently constructing SOM’s Upper Riverside, for which artist Moira Myerscough selected the colour schemes, seen at their best from the other side of the river.
