The overall profile is more generic on the concept which is a bit disappointing and not very quirky, the concept is missing the quarter light window and the loss of the flat side panels. I hope they try and make it more 2cv when it goes into production.

The length of the car feel's squashed in the concept, The height of the car has lowered, the covered rear wheel arch is missing, the bonnet design is not as interesting.

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.

Perhaps the US should tell Putin to leave Ukraine instead, you know the aggressors who started this pointless war.

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.

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.

Interesting connection to existing Croydon. I think too the Tower's are indicative but really should have a bit more individual character.

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.

Max Clifford was a vile person. I remember him being continually interviewed on breakfast news it was clear he was an evil person even then before the controversy. Archer was another one always interervied to push the conservative nonsense with the morning papers. No loss he’s gone.

I think it's ok, but with these masterplans it always seems like one firm designs everything which I think is a mistake. Also aerial views are slightly deceptive. Some of these buildings are large and probably too high for a predominately low rise historic town.

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.

The portland stone 1920 terraces in question.

Not sure this has worked very well. There is now no differentiation between the structures. The terraces are literally now wallpaper.

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

The stepped profile of the building allows more light into Castlereagh Street and is named Anzac House due to its axial location to the memorial.

The office building is clad in verdigris coloured ceramic influenced by the art deco buildings of Sydney with some slight homage to the late Anton Furst a visionary set designer.

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...
