I once stayed in a hotel shaped like a typewriter

The second photo down is either a photo of the NYC high line or an architects impression of an elevated garden that is an exact replica of the high line. Leeds isn't New York, let's have some original thinking!

Speaking as an architect, I bloody hate architects really.
There's so much of this vaguely modern-y vaguely brick-y stuff going up everywhere. It's destroying any sense of individual locality. But on the one hand I'm not a fan of gratuitous wackiness and on the other I can't be doing with inoffensive banality either.
Dunno what the answer is. Maybe I should just give up.

Enzo has designed this utter monstrosity smack on the seafront in the centre of Santander. Takin the piss if you axe me.
Due to open next month.

I guess what interests me in design is how you react to something the hundredth time you see it. Heatherwick's all about the one time immediate impact. It's like meeting a bloke who tells you the same joke, everyday, forever.
