| Marvellous how computer generated images can enhance reality Jim..... I think the design and layout should represent the commercial history of the area better rather than apartment blocks which could be anywhere. Architects might consider this a pastiche but so what? Remember the fuss about Quinlan Terry's riverside development in Richmond?? The Steering Group's research of several years ago found successful examples of warehouse style developments elsewhere in London. I will have a go at finding the reference and post a link..... unless someone beats me to it....... You get a better impression from looking at the photo of the model (as posed by Brentford Dock residents above.) http://www.flickr.com/photos/viktor_web_studios/8066616693/ I would say that a lot of the buildings have a few too many storeys, especially the ones close to the river....... |
