Going to have a look at this list after dinner.
Youāve never been to the Weebstmuseum then
Barajas Airport is on it? What the fuck?
never been to Weeberās Fantastic Foodmagorium and Great American Steakery?
Iāve not been to either this or his museum Iām afraid
This century is pretty young. I canāt think of any buildings that new.
I thought this was a pisstake
one thing Iām sure we can all agree on is that the guy from grand designs is a right plonker.
Iād have swapped the top two in the list, because while the Tate Modern is undeniably excellent and an important milestone in the treatment of old industrial built environments, the idea behind reusing existing buildings in a living space context is, to me, of greater social importance and should be foregrounded. People love art, but when people leave a gallery they go back home. Building great homes should be the highest architectural goal.
yeah I mean itās weird that we have art galleries whilst people are homeless really
itās just the guardian are suddenly doing lots of lists. sorry for the confusion
I imagine itās greener and cheaper to reuse old buildings than demolish them and make something better in most cases
Ah, I was going to say, they never even emailed! Lists are for squares.
Pretty fashionable to say giant grey monstrosities are brilliant since that Meades doc isnāt it
I donāt think it has to be a binary - after all, the people who are able to not be homeless arenāt all responsible for the fact that people are, and itās not really on to deny everyone pleasures while other people are suffering. However, we prize distraction over equality as a society (perhaps even simply as humans) and thatās not right. While itās wonderful to be able to point to these beautiful and moving creations as great achievements of humanity, a greater achievement would be to create an equal society.
Sarcasm is the lowest form of architecture
just think a lot of art can be made small enough to exhibit in peopleās homes or the street really. Iād rather live in a world of more local art being seen by 10-20 people than huge famous art seen by millions, make art socialist
