A new retail district called, [Coal Drops Yard](http://www.heatherwick.com/projects/spaces/coal-drops-yard/), opened this week in King’s Cross, London. The architecture is by Heatherwick Studio and the project is absolutely stunning. I love the idea of taking the roofs of the existing buildings and delaminating them to create the new spaces. It is a good example of old meets something new and cool. Here is a short video that I think many of you will enjoy.
