Wow.How did I not know about this?!
I'm going to be incredibly crass and name drop but it is sort of linked to yesterday's posts. This is a bridge we commissioned Gehry to design about 15 years ago with schlaich bergermann who were utterly amazing to work with and more German than you ever thought is was possible to stereotype

I always liked Gehry's Fred and Ginger. Not his most subtle piece

My journey up the A1 is always brightened by this building at Markham Moor. Originally a petrol station, it now has a Starbucks wedged underneath, but not in a way that compromises the structural integrity of the wonderful roof. From 1960. This is how it originally looked.

Agreed. We went to NY about 18 months ago and seeing the Chrysler building was high on my list of things to do.I went to NYC recently and saw the boarded up 5th Avenue because of the fears Trump supporters would riot. They left the boards up because the stores remained closed or open but protected.
Well this building isn't anywhere as grand as some that have been posted, but it's one of my favourites, the Malraux in Le Havre. Home to the biggest collection of French impressionist art outside of the Orsay.

Lucky enough to have been on a walk up and down that - fabulous, with great views over the train yard (which I think is being redeveloped now?) Amazing thing.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
