Apologies if this thread subject has been covered before, but given all the different threads talking about past glories, those still with us and what could yet be built. Pics if possible, anything can be entered whether it has been demolished or whether it is still to be built. if you have an idea for a specualtive future building that would be better than the rest then stick that up too? Actually, lets go the whole hog. Include structures, eras, architectural styles if you like.
Anyway, I wrote this on another thread so here is my starters
Martins Bank Building on water St, by far Liverpool's best building.. er, probably... maybe 16 Cook St... or the Catholic Cathedral.
What is for sure is that Exchange Flags is one of the best urban squares in the world... and as has been said before, is why the whole davies situation is such a crime!
I think that you all know that I have gone off all the Liverpool hyperbole, but I don't think this sentiment is an exageration in the slightest... stunning. Everything about it is almost perfect... the blend of buildings, the enclosure the potential.... how I remember it when it was the heart of a mighty commercial area.. everything! even the symbolism.. civics and commerce... brilliant..
I love Art Deco but I also think that we are currently in a golden age of architectural style and innovation.. another bloody reason to hate the heritage freaks!
