I took this one at the Getty museum because it reminded me of Blade Runner.
Some interesting buildings there.

I had a place at Uni to do Architecture, but transferred to something else at the end of the first term.
How did the word âarchitectâ get hijacked by IT departments?
We have Solution Architects, System Architects and my favorite job title âEnterprise Architectâ
I suppose you have to massage the ego with more than huge pay rises these days!

Amazing how a bit of nice weather changes the perspective!
Even Palomo Faith is in on it now
I think the point is that your GP surgery (and a shed load of other building) look like his designs

someone who gets it.
Never studied Architecture but have picked up a interest over the years. First full time job I had was as a office junior for Sheperd Robson so spent some time visiting lots of sites including what is now my office and reading books in their library. Was never a big fan of their work though(Wood Green Shopping centre anyone !).
Do like a bit of Deco I have to admit and now I recongnise its value some of the Edgar Wood Architecture in my home town of Middleton.
Favourite building for its complete over the top interior is the Granada Tooting. The grandest bingo hall you could ever visit.

Know their work well, some pretty good new stuff, recent building of theirs is opposite my practiceâs London office, v.high quality materials
Portland stone?
Theatres and cinemas are the most obvious legacy of the Art Deco movement.
This is in Adelaide. The Capri TheatreâŚ
It still contains one of the worldâs most popular Wurlitzer organs amongst enthusiasts. It was featured nearly every week on Radio 2âs The Organist EntertainsâŚ

Pretty sure. Seems to have all the materials I specify then get value engineered out.

Time for a style I canât bloody stand, they exist due largely to design lazy architects and easily persuaded planning officers. They infest the Lake District and Scotland (just about anywhere TBH), I give you the âarchitect designedâ oak framed with glass style house. I assume other houses are designed by hamsters or some such.
Bloody 'orrid things!
Thatâs a beaut.
Câmon Bob, youâre just jealous they got to the oak before you did. Youâll have to make your next plinth a âtributeâ to this - it looks like thereâs demand
