Alastair Lansley

Alastair Lansley (born 1 December 1947) is a British architect.

Alastair Lansley was the lead architect for the reconstruction and rebuilding of London's St Pancras Station as terminus of the High Speed 1 line from the Channel Tunnel to London. His work at St Pancras includes the construction of a new 13 platform extension deck in a modern manner; reconstruction of the west side of the station (made necessary by the construction of the new Thameslink station box below) in a historically based Neo-gothic manner in the style of Sir George Gilbert Scott; as well as the refurbishment of the original station building by Scott and William Barlow.cite web | url = http://observer.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,,2005375,00.html#article_continue | title = It's been a long journey... | publisher = Guardian Unlimited | date = 2007-02-04 | accessdate = 2007-11-30] cite web | url = http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article407911.ece | title = On track, new landmark for London | publisher = Times Online | date = 2005-01-03 | accessdate = 2007-11-30] cite web | url = http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601088&refer=muse&sid=atczzfElwJh8 | title = St. Pancras Brings Taste of Grand Central, Romance to London | publisher = Bloomberg L.P. | date = 2007-10-26 | accessdate = 2007-11-30]

In November 2007 a series of six BBC television programmes were aired. In this series the project that was to become St. Pancras International station was shown during the different phases of construction. The attention to detail that Lansley so wished to put into the building of the project and the care and attention he gave to his work is demonstrably shown.

Lansley is a former member of British Rail's architects’ department. He was responsible for the £110 million reshaping of London's Liverpool Street Station in the late 1980s and early 1990s, working with his former colleague Nick Derbyshire.cite web | url = http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article407911.ece | title = On track, new landmark for London | publisher = Times Online | date = 2005-01-03 | accessdate = 2007-11-30] cite web | url = http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601088&refer=muse&sid=atczzfElwJh8 | title = St. Pancras Brings Taste of Grand Central, Romance to London | publisher = Bloomberg L.P. | date = 2007-10-26 | accessdate = 2007-11-30]

It has been reported that a project to rebuild the Euston Arch as part of the redevelopment of Euston Station could be led by Lansley.
