Introduction
This collection comprises reports and 3D models related to the dismantling, relocation and Storage of the Piscator Sculpture by Eduardo Paolozzi, which was previously located in the forecourt of Euston Station in Camden, London.
Project Summary
Relocation of the Piscator sculpture was required to facilitate the demolition of the adjacent towers and their basements prior to the construction of the HS2 station, as outlined in the Dismantling Report .
The Piscator sculpture itself is to be relocated in accordance with a U&A (Undertaking & Assurances) that HS2 (and CSjv, the contractor for enabling works) will liaise with stakeholders in the process of relocation, the methodology for this and the selection of a suitable new site for its display. The structure is not listed, but detailed understanding of its history, fabric, setting and significance will help to ensure the new location of the sculpture is suitable.
Re-Use Value Statement
This archive provides a comprehensive description of the makeup and construction of the Piscator Sculpture and the method used to dismantle and store it.
The archive can provide information for any future research regarding the asset, the work of Paolozzi and the Euston Station piazza, which may otherwise be inaccessible to the public.
The archive can also be of benefit to the management of any future works to the asset, including determining the site of its relocation, which may require an understanding of its design and materials, as well as its significance, in order to guide development designs.
