	From Here To Modernity Buildings - Trellick Tower
		Trellick Tower in west London featured regularly in the tabloids, and their stories of what was to be found in its brutalist corridors were terrifying.
		Residents bristle at the Tower's reputation as a home for the new 'urban cool', but since the installation of a concierge and basic security apparatus, Trellick's debilitating social problems have been largely stamped out and the building has become something of a pop culture icon.
		Work started on Trellick in 1968, the same year as the explosion at Ronan Point, and was completed four years later.

		The address of the block is Trellick Tower, 5 Golborne Road, London, W10 (the rest of the postal code varies according to the flat).

	Trellick Tower in Nottingh Hill, Notting Hill Gate, Ladbroke Grove, Portobello Road and North Kensinghton
		Many of the proposed housing schemes at this time, such as Erno Goldfinger's Trellick Tower in Kensington, were based on ideas first pioneered by the Swiss architect Le Corbusier, blocks of flats and maisonettes built on columns which also contained shops, nurseries, community centres, doctors' surgeries and, in some instances, roof gardens.
		However, the vast majority of working class estates built in the 1950s, 60s and 70s were a travesty of that idea, and even those that did strive to meet at least some of the ideals were undermined by local authority cuts in maintenance and repairs.
		Many tower blocks are well past their sell by date and should be knocked down, but we should not demolish them all and replace them with `conventional' houses, particularly when such houses are so small that the former tower block residents protest about being moved, as they have at Hackney's half demolished Holly Street estate.

	Housing Prototypes: Trellick Tower
		The Trellick Tower is the largest and latest of these projects, a 31-story apartment slab, part of a complex of several buildings in North Kensington called Cheltenham Estate, built for the Greater London Council.
		Trellick was regularly featured in the tabloids as “The Tower of Terror”, and there were stories of women being raped in the elevators, children attacked by drug addicts, and homeless squatters setting fire to empty flats.
		Much of the description of the tower in Ballard’s novel seem to have been derived directly from Trellick, the extended height, the facades and balconies, the articulated stairs and elevators, and the general Brutalist quality of the” concrete landscape”.

	virtual philosopher: Trellick Tower Under Attack Again
		Trellick Tower in West London (5 Golborne Road, W10), an icon of modernism in England, is under attack again, this time from David Cameron’s allies.
		Trellick’s distinctive silhouette, with its separate lift and services tower joined to the main block by walkways, is a local landmark and a cultural icon.
		Not that Trellick is straightforwardly the yuppies’ paradise sometimes featured in colour supplements: still largely social housing and in some respects poorly maintained, its outline has been disfigured by telephone masts and a botch of cables…but these are hardly reasons for bringing in the demolition team.

		Trellick Tower is an impressive edifice to approach, with canalside gardens around its base.
		The approach is dramatic — the lift tower stands separate from the main block, and you walk from the lift lobby across an enclosed walkway.

	From Here To Modernity Architects - Erno Goldfinger
		Yet his monumental tower blocks of this era became icons of everything that the British public disliked about Modernism, and his reputation as an architect became indelibly tied to the fortunes of these later Brutalist projects.
		Erno Goldfinger was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1902.
		Trellick was completed in 1972, four years after the collapse of Ronan Point and one year before the first shock would signal the end of the long post-war boom.

	Trellick Tower London by Erno Goldfinger
		Trellick Tower is one of London's landmark attempts at high-rise residential living, still thriving almost entirely as social housing but with about one tenth of the apartments now privately owned and attracting fashionable prices and decor.
		This idea, and the purity of the geometry behind it, draws strongly on Le Corbusier's Unité d'habitation in Marseille, of which Trellick is a somewhat diluted but higher-rise variant.
		Trellick Tower is in west London, visible next to the main railway line into Paddington Station from west England of from Heathrow (just to the north of the line, on your left as you approach Paddington).

	New Statesman - Towers of terror
		Trellick Tower, with its distinctive lift shaft joined by walkways to the main building, has become an unlikely symbol of urban cool.
		He colour-coded each of Trellick Tower’s floors so that, when the lift doors opened, residents would know immediately if they were on the right level - a useful prop, he half joked, for anyone staggering home drunk.
		Moreover, the yuppification of the tower block is an entirely London-based phenomenon, the city’s property values putting a high premium on anywhere near the centre, and quelling the anxieties of the most conservative mortgage-lenders.

	Points (and slabs) of interest
		In the 1970s Trellick Tower (Fig 2) went through a pronounced phase of antisocial and criminal behavior ur including vandalism, arson, physical intimidation, even attack, of residents, and regu- lar burglary of flats.
		This illustrates that the mitigation of social problems in a block requires a number of prerequisites to succeed, prime among which are development of a sense of community and removal of fear by the installation of effective security measures.
		Trellick Tower illustrates the successful rehabilitation of such a block, retaining its social housing use, and is a token of optimism that similar about-turns can be effected elsewhere.

		The distinctive silhouette, with its separate lift and service tower joined to the main block by walkways, has turned the building into a landmark.
		Standing on Trellick's rooftop you realise how slim the "footprint" of the building is - and that is part of the point of building high.
		Too many tower blocks hastily built in the 1960s and 1970s were ill-conceived and poorly executed.

	BBC - h2g2 - Trellick Tower, Notting Hill, London, UK
		Trellick Tower is an insanely tall block of council flats in Notting Hill, London, UK, famed for (among other things) being very tall and being designed by an architect with the same surname as a James Bond villain - the Hungarian Erno Goldfinger.
		Alternatively, its design - which is that of a utility tower standing next to a main tower and then joined by a series of walkways - reminds one of a rocket next to a lift-off gantry.
		A Grade II listing is given to a building by the historical board and basically means that it must be preserved to a certain degree so that the general spirit of the architecture is maintained.

	Trellick Tower - Archiseek Architecture Planning Discussion
		Trellick Tower now a listed building, what part of London is it in?
		A lengthy Guardian article on the tower's fall and rise (including info that some apartments were costing £150K in 1999): http://www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Ar...835268,00.html and a few corrections from James Dunnett, Goldfinger's champion: http://www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Ar...841887,00.html
		I had the pleasure of staying there for a while and it is really fantastic, a true case of the modernist ideal at work (apart from people chucking their washing machines etc from their balconies when they were past their sell-by date, but there's some things architects can't control).

	Metroblogging London: Trellick Tower
		Designed by Erno Goldfinger, Trellick Tower was approved in 1967 as Block A of the Edenham Street project and became a listed building in 1998.
		With 32 floors the tower is 98 metres (322 ft) high and holds the very famous look of where the lifts are separated from the building.
		At first I was quite shocked to see Trellick because it does dominate the Notting Hill skyline - you cannot not be drawn to it.
