This building looks awful the cladding and structure does not suite the surrounding area.

It’s part of a campus. I take it you didn’t go to university.

Saw a couple of bods scamper up the crane back in May. Been looking for the pictures ever since.....

saw this today.. not impressed, the ceramic cladding cannot help but look plastic and cheap, and the massing from some angles is extremely clumsy. A future all glass/steel and solar panel re-clad might make it look respectful...

Time to make your mids up.

Plenty of pics taken today.

Let the fur fly!

First two taken from the middle of Hyde Road.

Holiday Inn Express.(I stand corrected)

Sign on the dotted line please.

Rooms from, get this, £125 per week!(you can stay a 5* Hotel for less) Saying that, many of the rooms have sold out. My guess. It's going to be a success.

Looks like it was designed in the 1970s whilst they was on acid

What's that curved building covered in all the 'eco' stereotypes in those last few photos?

pookey · August 11th, 2012, 04:18 PM

It's the 'Green Building'
