That shot of Willis is absolutely stunning!

Aragon Tower is a mess plain and simple. I know one of the UK forumers lives in it but sadly it just looks like a Council block with an ugly addition. Sorry.

Some great pics - never seen the Barbican look as good as in that last one. You almost don't notice the way the rain has stained parts of every level dark grey. I know a lot people are in to brutalism but up close it really looks depressing on a dull day. Would love to see it get a good clean up.
