Thanks to the Bristol Post for this scan of an ad for the opening of Bristol’s iconic Rupert St car park. Due to be demolished for a couple more unimaginative boxes of student accommodation.

Gradel Quadrangle, New College, Oxford. If only more student accommodation was as unusual and original as this, instead of the bland towers cropping up across Bristol and elsewhere.

Enough brutalism, let’s have some Palladian.
A very nice, sunny day in Derbyshire’s Peak District. Here’s Chatsworth. We are pleased to say our offer has been accepted and we hope to exchange late September. Assuming the survey is ok, of course.

In the foreground, The Museum of London - another post-war building destined for the wrecking ball. In the background, The Barbican - a revered brutalist masterpiece (by some). A wonder of the modern world according to Queen Elizabeth II.
