The development was designed by the architect Will Alsop, and cost approximately £52 million. Comprising a massive oblong building constructed in dark grey and silver metal cladding with irregularly-shaped windows edged in magenta, its appearance has drawn comparisons with a fish tank or a municipal swimming baths, or as one local put it "A shoebox with blobby windows". The Public arts organization was founded in 1974 as Jubilee Arts by Sylvia King, and works with various community art groups on creative projects.
