The penultimate video tour published in collaboration with Open House London documents Salters’ Hall, the white brutalist livery hall near the Barbican Estate.
Filmed by Jim Stephenson, the video is one of a series of short documentaries being published on Dezeen during the festival to spotlight unusual and overlooked places in London.
與倫敦開放日博物館合作發布的倒數第二次視頻巡迴演出記錄了巴比肯莊園附近的白色野獸派制服大廳Salters’Hall。
該錄像帶由吉姆·斯蒂芬森（Jim Stephenson）拍攝，是電影節期間在Dezeen上發行的一系列短紀錄片之一，以聚焦倫敦不尋常且被忽視的地方。

Salters’ Hall was built in 1976 as the east London home for The Salters’ Company – one of London’s ancient livery companies that evolved from the city’s medieval guilds.
Today the building is used to support The Salters’ Company work in scientific, charitable and outreach programmes.
The building was designed by brutalist architect Basil Spence in collaboration with interior designer David Nightingale Hicks, and underwent an extensive refurbishment by dMFK Architects in 2016.
Salters’Hall建於1976年，是The Salters’Company的倫敦東部住宅，Salters’Company是倫敦古老的塗裝公司之一，源於該城市的中世紀行會。
如今，這座建築被用於支持The Salters’Company在科學，慈善和外展計劃中的工作。
該建築是由野獸派建築師Basil Spence與室內設計師David Nightingale Hicks合作設計的，並於2016年由dMFK Architects進行了大規模翻新。
In the video, tour guide Valerie Wilson Trower sheds light on the building’s late brutalist style, which is characterised by its white exterior crafted from textured and fluted concrete.
This is an unusual design for a livery company’s hall, leading Historic England to grant it Grade II-listed status in 2010.
“Salters’ Hall is a great example of late brutalism constructed of white concrete moulded in situ, and then pick-hammered for surface interest,” explained Wilson Trower.
“It has easy spaces that link to each other, four floors of office space, and then the three floors of The Salters’ Company above that.”
在視頻中，導遊瓦萊麗·威爾遜·特羅維爾（Valerie Wilson Trower）闡明了該建築的晚期野獸派風格，其特徵是其白色外牆由帶紋理的凹槽混凝土製成。
對於塗裝公司的大廳來說，這是一個不尋常的設計，這使英國歷史悠久的建築在2010年授予了其II級列名地位。
威爾遜·特勞爾（Wilson Trower）解釋說：“薩爾特斯大廳是晚期野蠻行為的一個很好的例子，這種野蠻行為是用現成的白色混凝土模製而成，然後進行錘打以獲得表面趣味。”
“它有相互連接的便捷空間，四層辦公空間，然後是上方的The Salters’Company的三層。”
Wilson Trower goes on to spotlight one of the building’s most interesting spaces, which is the lobby on its fifth floor that was designed by Hicks to resemble a salt mine.
Alongside a white marble ceiling, this space includes carpet with graphics that are modelled on the form of the benzene molecule – nodding to the company’s investment in the sciences.
“The space is deliberately designed to look like a salt cave with this white chipped marble ceiling and concealed lighting,” explained Wilson Trower.
“The floor is covered in a carpet designed by Hicks which resembles a benzene ring, which chimes nicely with the Salters’ interest in science.”

威爾遜·特羅威爾（Wilson Trower）繼續聚焦於該建築最有趣的空間之一，它是位於五樓的大廳，由希克斯（Hicks）設計，類似於鹽礦。
除了白色大理石天花板之外，這個空間還包括帶有圖形的地毯，這些圖形均以苯分子的形式為模型，這對公司在科學方面的投資表示感謝。
威爾遜·特勞爾（Wilson Trower）解釋說：“該空間經過精心設計，看起來像鹽洞，帶有白色的大理石天花板和暗裝的照明燈。”
“地板上覆蓋著希克斯設計的地毯，該地毯類似於苯環，與薩特斯對科學的興趣很好地融合在一起。”
