Hastings, Hastings Pier, dRMM, 2016

The 2010 destruction of Hastings Pier by fire was an opportunity to redefine what a pier could be in the 21st century; moving away from the accumulation of commercial booths of poor quality construction. dRMM’s conceptual basis for the re-design of the pier was not to create the predictable unnecessary hero building at the end, but instead providing open space to allow universal access. The focus was on creating a well-serviced, strong platform that could support a variety of events and uses from circuses to music events, fishing to markets. Different users can bring their own architecture to plug in. Small local trading stalls in the form of classic beach huts have already arrived, setting the example for an endless range of future possibilities. The Pier became an extension of the Promenade from which it projects – a public, open space. In its current format, the new Pier is a catalyst for urban regeneration.

I must admit that when seeing photos of this building for the first time, I wasn't too sure what to think. But then I went and had a look in person. It is a truly outstanding piece of architecture! Amin Taha sure knows how to break the mould (and arouse some planners).
