The shart... Sorry, Shard. Looks absolutely terrifying and totally incongruous against the rest of the London skyline... All it needs is 'war is peace, freedom is slavery' etc accross the front to complete the sinister Orwellian vibe... |

"The new library in birmingham....bloody horrendous thing "
A cross between the Guggenheim and the Queen Mary, covered in rusty old bike wheels dredged up from Gas St. Basin... It is to architecture what Herod was to Mothercare...  |

Much as it pains me to say this……
St James Park the home of Newcastle United causes me equal amounts of loving and loathing due to the hugely disproportionate lack of symmetry in such a commanding structure that dominates its cityscape……  |

I was in Toonside last week and went to the City Hall and the adjacent baths beautiful bit of neo classic architecture with a theme of art deco delicately employed in the interior finishes. I am also a fan of the Sunderland empire Frank Matcham at his most impressive style. |

Yes the City Baths and the City Hall are impressive buildings although more centrally to the toon I’d say the Theatre Royal and pretty much most the area around Greys Street has equally if not greater imposing presence.
Yes the entrance and interior of Sunderland Empire are impressive too although its not such a pretty building when viewed externally from the sides and the back as the Theatre Royal….
