When you compare the new concept Citroen 2cv to the old classic there are a few similarities but I do think they have missed some of the quintessential elements that make it feel like the original car.

Take away the supernatural ability of Carrie. It hits home when you were bullied at high school and had to put on a happy face or at least pretend nothing is happening. Still a scar after such happy memories at primary school ( uk) where everyone was so much nicer and it felt right.

227 Elizabeth Street. Currently a rather ugly office building next to Hyde Park. My vision would be more akin to a cultural building, serving as perhaps an annex to the Sydney Museum with 6 varying floor plates and gallery's complimenting the Anzac memorial and Sydney Museum nearby.

Whitgift's Croydon UK Autumn consultation for redevelopment. The towers are getting big, the spaces between the towers I think is still too small. Surely some more space should be provided considering the size of the buildings? thecroydonproject.co.uk/autumn-2026-...

I was told today by a landscape architect that a hedge is far too European and that instead it should be something natural looking because clearly in a city hedges are banned morally and too colonial which he really wanted to say.

I haven't been to the amazing Horniman Museum for many many years. The main gallery has been refurbished which is a bit of a worry. It's eclectic and odd and when I hear 'up to date' I hope that does not mean the removal the most interesting and slightly macabre exhibits in the gallery.

Trying to understand what they are doing here? The site was controversial because of the demolition of the stone terraces. What I can see is they have retained the terraces removed the entrance portico (hidden by a tree) and absorbed it into the tower. onechapelplace.com#proposal
