Oh dear. Another 70 storey tower in London that's guess what glass and the same height as the Undershaft. The city really have no clue about how to create a good skyline. exchequercourtconsultation.co.uk/wp-content/u...
What on earth have they done to Dezeen's website, it's a mess. dezeen.com
Another super tall tower for the city of London. Don't tell me. This will be another boring all glass tower with probably a few pleats in the glass, stone base maybe?. I hope i'm surprised but I'm not holding my breath. www.bdonline.co.uk/news/wilkins...
The building is getting used again which is a good thing but not restoring it properly as it should be to me is an indication of a city who neglect their heritage. Much like the Mac in Glasgow, the same city. I loathe the living ruin title...it's embarrassing. www.bdonline.co.uk/news/glasgow...
Incredible life and age. Donald Insall created Donald Insall Associates. A great advocate for heritage protection, conservation and preservation in the UK. RIP. www.bdonline.co.uk/news/donald-...
Great scheme. Thankfully the mayor of london @mayorofldn approved it. www.architectsjournal.co.uk/news/kpfs-sh...
Whitgift's Croydon UK Autumn consultation for redevelopment. The towers are getting big, the spaces between the towers I think is still too small. Surely some more space should be provided considering the size of the buildings? thecroydonproject.co.uk/autumn-2026-...
Nsw are building this monster on an old golf course near the airport . What a disgrace. www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw...
Disappointing news on 10 Cabot Square. Historic England didn't think it was worthy of keeping which is a rather short sited view on this type of architecture considering it's replacement is so Meh. www.instagram.com/p/DeJfDELCA6...
The Ladywell Playtower ( i'm sure this could be a drag name) competition. All quite interesting proposals but I think Turner Works seems to be a winner in my eyes. engage.zencity.io/london-borou...
God knows the RCA building next to the Royal Albert Hall needs a refurb and this looks good, without looking like an uncomfortable modernisation it works with the buildings architecture. www.bdonline.co.uk/news/green-l...
Scheme in Northhampton UK by Howells Architects. Regenerating area's scarred by massive car parks and redundant land. I do however think some of the buildings are too high for this historic town. englishcitiesfund.co.uk/stories/majo...

I haven't been to the amazing Horniman Museum for many many years. The main gallery has been refurbished which is a bit of a worry. It's eclectic and odd and when I hear 'up to date' I hope that does not mean the removal the most interesting and slightly macabre exhibits in the gallery.

Trying to understand what they are doing here? The site was controversial because of the demolition of the stone terraces. What I can see is they have retained the terraces removed the entrance portico (hidden by a tree) and absorbed it into the tower. onechapelplace.com#proposal
