Apologies if there is already a thread for this (if so, please delete this one Comdot?), but!
I walked around the RC cathedral grounds today, just to get an impression as I did not have too long... the impression was a qualified wow. The developments round about work really well together. The new entrance to the crypt looks fantastic. The choice of light/white materials is fantastic.
The building with the Sayers and BSM is shit, though it looks OK. I tapped some of the cladding and it sounded like it was hollow and lose. It was also spattered with filth.
The grounds round the new arts building are a little bland, but could be made fantastic as they mature. It was very busy there, with a group of Italian students sunning themselves on the Hope St steps. What is that big stone 'eye' thing supposed to be about though?
It is an even more fantastic place to take pictures now, so next time I'm taking the camera with me.
Please post as many pics as you have on this thread? The artier the better!
