Minster Court

Looked at one way, this is possibly the most disney-esque building yet; quasi-spires poke over the roofline of local buildings. Looked at another way, it is a modern take on perpendicular architecture, with the original philosophy of turning thoughts heavenward removed.


I'm away for a few weeks, daily photos will continue to appear courtesy of Blogger's automated feature - as long as it is working.

A Diamond Made of Glass and Steel

London's architects are world leading and whenThe Way We See It this week took me to Baker Street, I came across 55 Baker Street, the refurbished 50's HQ of Marks & Spencer. I learned it was designed in 3-d with a three tiered fish scale glazing. I dunno. If you are in the area, it is worth a visit.

100 New Bridge Street

What do you do if you are an architect, designing a building surrounded by Victorian and Edwardian magnificence, and 60's London Dull? If you are modern architects, the answer is a very creative modern stained glass, best viewed from the inside, or of a winter evening with the light shining through.

After reading the Diamond Geezer's exploits at this address, I wasn't surprised when a security guard bustled out immediately I started to photograph. But, I was surprised when he apologised, said that he had to ask and was happy with my explanation that I found it of sufficient artistic merit to photograph.
