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.

People are still protesting in Sydney Every weekend ( and rightly so ) because of Israel committing their evil genocide of Gaza and the endless attacks on Palestinians and now Lebanon.

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.

Scheme in Northhampton UK by Howells Architects. Regenerating area's scarred by massive car parks and redundant land. I do however think some of the buildings are too high for this historic town. englishcitiesfund.co.uk/stories/majo...

The portland stone 1920 terraces in question.

Christian harrup @charrup.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
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

Little bit concerned about the design of main hospital tower. It's height and prominence in Paddington should be contributory to the skyline and designed to the highest standard. No random cladding! www.stmarys.imperial.nhs.uk/media/0dkop5...

The proposed roof of 281 Elizabeth street Sydney would accommodate a pool pavilion. With a shaded and planted loggia on either side.

Upper section of 271 Elizabeth Street Sydney CBD. The conceptual design is a slightly more contemporary interpretation of 19th century sandstone office buildings within the city.

How to reimagine a new Museum Station entrance in Sydney currently on Liverpool Street moved to Elizabeth street. Relating to the current Museum station in a more logical manner with new adjacent buildings along Elizabeth Street above and to the right.

I know people get so excited about buildings like this. But in all honesty most people would find it ugly as hell and a blight on the area of Tottenham court road. The building that was there before it was demolished was much more attractive. www.architectsjournal.co.uk/news/fears-m...

How would you redesign Elizabeth Street Sydney? A series of ideas and buildings along the southern end of Hyde Park encompassing a whole city block. Restoring the grandeur and historic importance of the location adjacent to the Anzac memorial.

The US government run by Trump and part of project 2025 led by Russsell Vought (who should be strung up outside his home upside down) are slaughtering wild horses on purpose. That’s right it’s intentional slaughter for meat.

Considering Michael Hopkins architecture want to ruin a post modern masterpiece embankment place it only seems fair that the Velodrome in the Olympic park they designed gets a much needed post modern makeover in the style of michael graves.

This is a terrible bastardisation of Embankment Place by the late Terry Farrell. Key post modern elements erased for mediocrity by Hopkins Architects in London. Sage green just adds to the miserable colour palette.

HS2 is rejuvenating a large area near the new station in Birmingham with many large developments in the pipeline. This tower by Squire and Partners will be one of the tallest but there are many more to come. squireandpartners.com/news/practic...

Another tower that's been stalled for a while now has gone back into planning for some amendments. One being that it's higher now at 80 floors. This building is located on George Street and will replace 2/3rds of the existing Event Cinema. eplanning.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/Pages/XC.Tra...

It was altered in the 1930's with the towers and much of the Edwardian detail removed. The only thing that would be beneficial would for it be restored back to it's original state which is clearly not happening but at least it's being used again. theisleofthanetnews.com/2026/08/03/t...

Not sure what's going on at Patel Taylor these days but this tower looks like it was designed 20 years ago or was designed by Simpson Haugh? with it's lazy random cladding. It's just been approved in Marsh Wall, Isle of dogs.

How dare they make ulysses 31 and it not be historically correct. I will have to make own film now to correct this issue. I mean look at Yumi and her blue face outrageous she’s not from around here. That’s not the mythical world I used live in. Make Greek mythology great again. 🫠

Is it me or do all opera houses in china have the same brief. Three obviously different monumental schemes all very similar approach to the interior. Last one is new one by ZHA architects.

Weird that people of Hove who are very vocal about heritage intend their proposal to look like some sort of 90's business park with a dodgy green roof in their alternate proposal. All for heritage retention but this looks shit.....The new design for the local council I think looks good( first image)

Christian harrup @charrup.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
They want to build a 21 storey tower. This goes against the COS uplift for the heritage area and no ones knows about it's approval. www.planning.nsw.gov.au/sites/defaul...
