Editorial Review

Pop-up hotel built in homage to the fictional Congo steamboat in Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness." The one-bedroom structure floats on the rooftop edge of the Southbank Centre arts complex on the Thames, an arrow’s shot from the giant rotating London Eye. The design (titled "Roi de Belges") by artist Fiona Banner and architect David Kohn transcends its gimmicky premise somehow, maybe because of its wind turbine mast or its cozy book-lined interior. A couple may stay for one night only, long enough to take in the cityscape above Queen Elizabeth Hall and contemplate the apocalypse now. Until December 2012.
