>> but you cant get upset because someone wants to build two buildings next to each other that happen to be tall and exploding in a sort of pluming office furniture and burning jet fuel fashion


No you're right, its a classic architectural design pattern ;)

The colloquial use of the term ?believe? really gets to me. Someone just asked me if I ?believe? in the national infrastructure plan.


Well there is a copy of it sitting on my desk but I concede that this alone is not reliable proof of its existence.


The look on their face indicated that they weren?t trying to pass the afternoon by considering a philosophical conundrum.


I wonder if this world will wake up tomorrow to find that it is actually a butterfly that was just dreaming that is was a universe filled with inane annoyance.

I believe it may.

LOL....I think those pics maxxi show just how different the two buildings are, rather than how similar they are but I have to admit that it may be that the 'cloud' idea was inspired by the twin towers. I still think the result is an interesting and attractive building....although I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea.

    • Very happy to add my recommendation for TDR property maintenance. Tony and his team have transformed my front garden, breaking up a bare patch of concrete and laying a beautiful victorian tiled path. They've also repaired a wall and a fence for us. Richard's tiling has been meticulous and Tony's communication has been great throughout the process. We wouldn't hesitate to use him again. 
    • Perhaps this could be part of your proposed forum meet up, the cheese I hasten to add @Sue
    • Sounds like you've had some interesting evenings 🤣
    • Shame, go there!  Although embarrassingly we only used it takeaway during lockdown.  It's a Persian store/cafe/restaurant if you are unaware of the cultural reference in the name.   Just checked the menu and it is phenomenal and good value too, thanks for reminding me to go there  https://foratasteofpersia.co.uk/restaurant/
