Fredrick Gibberd would be 111 years old today. This influential architect and urbanist designed The Beckers estate in North (or is it still East?) London.⠀⁠

Central Parade in Walthamstow is unique example of Festival style architecture — amazing playfulness, colours and details! Really nice building to come across. A plaque on it reminds it was built on a site where a V1 killed 22 people and injured many others.

Happy New Year everyone! Now have a look on this gorgeous house by Jan Kaplicky and Amanda Levete in Islington. Built in 1994, it aged well I think (although it must be pain to clean it). https://www.instagram.com/p/BsJUacoB5n7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1noo5jy5z1v28

Hidden gem (or a lump of coal) near Broadway Market is one of the lesser-known buildings of Amin Taha's Group Work. Very minimal — no drains, gutters or even window sills! The black colour is probably the best protection against ugly weathering of the slightly angled facade.

This doesn't get old.

Fredrick Gibberd would be 110 years old today (tnx for the reminder @mod_in_metro ). Researching this influential architect and urbanist I found out he designed The Beckers estate few steps from my home.

High-tech architecture is getting into vulnerable position, when it still seems too young to list and protect, but it's also old enough to profitably redevelop. @C20Society is now attempting to list the Sainsbury’s complex in Camden, as plans for its redevelopment emerge. ⁣

I must admit that when seeing photos of this building for the first time, I wasn't too sure what to think. But then I went and had a look in person. It is a truly outstanding piece of architecture! Amin Taha sure knows how to break the mould (and arouse some planners).
