The square in the Millbank campus of the Chelsea College of Art and Design, with lighting strips set in the ground.
The Chelsea College of Art and Design effectively came into being with the amalgamation of The Polytechnic School of Art (previously The West London School of Art) and The South-Western Polytechnic (later the Chelsea Polytechnic). In 1986, the school became a constituent College of the London Institute, being renamed the Chelsea College of Art and Design in 1989. In 2005 the college relocated all its sites to the current location, the former Royal Army Medical College.
The Royal Army Medical College was designed by John Henry Townsend Woodd and Wilfred Ainslie, in the 'Imperial Baroque' style.
Construction began in 1904, and the premises were opened in 1907.

'Under the Baobab', an installation at the Southbank Centre.
From the website:
The oldest living specimen in Africa, the baobab tree has long been a symbol for community gatherings and mediation. For Festival of the World, a colossal baobab tree has sprung up at Southbank Centre. The sculpture is made from stacks of fabric rings using material from around the globe. Created by Pirate Technics with help from 30 Masters students of Textile Design at Chelsea College of Art and Design, the fabrics represent their communities of origin, so each ring tells a story.
Forming part of the Festival of the World (1 June - 9 September 2012), as well as the Cultural Olympiad for London 2012.
