Isle of Dogs Pumping Station
Designed by the architect John Outram in his own unmistakeable style (see also Image). The brief was to design a building to last 100 years. It was to house control and supply maintenance room for the electric pumps in their chambers under the floor of the Station. Storm water from the Isle of Dogs is raised automatically whenever it flows into the underfloor chamber, to a great concrete surge tank, high above ground level, from which it drains by gravity into the Thames, The building has also to be vandal and terrorist-proof, so far as is reasonable. It has no windows. The control room is surrounded by concrete which has been designed to withstand the collapse of the structure onto it, should it experience an earthquake or explosion. http://www.johnoutram.com/projectsmenu.html
When completed in 1988 the building received several awards and was much lauded. Today it's let down by its setting, with the surrounding paving overrun with weeds, as can be seen in the foreground in the photo.

Isle of Dogs
The prominent building with the columns and a motif like a jet engine intake is a waste water pumping station and has been cited as a better example of modern architecture.

Pumping station, Stewart Street
Unmistakably the work of John Outram, 1987-88, who described it as a "temple to summer storms". "The walls represent a blue brick river flowing between tree trunks, and the round hole of the fan which splits the gable is the cave between mountain peaks through which the river issues, falling as blue bricks down the wall ... practically, the brick chamber conceals a subterranean concrete pumping chamber, tank and control room. The columns carry ducts, and the axial fan in the metal-panelled gables prevents build-up of methane." Grade II* listed.
