REVEALED: Google's GINORMOUS £650m London Choc Factory

Re: Industrial heritage?

I second that. After their recent architectural 'upgrades' they're the best two buildings associated with travel in the country (thank you English Heritage). I recommend The Parcel Yard pub upstairs in King's Cross.

And it'll be TWO international stations soon - after the Scottish referendum that is.

Rectangles, always rectangles

Yet another boring rectangular block! Overbearing, aesthetically uninspiring. In fact lazy.

Perhaps an architect would explain why today's new buildings ALWAYS have to have 90 degree angles? Is it cost? Is it lack of imagination? Is it hard to draw anything other than rectangles in AutoCAD and ArchiCAD software? Are you scared your peers will laugh if you do something interesting?

Look at the buildings we civilians love the most. It is very very simple: new and old, they all have at least SOME interesting angles and curves.

Pfft.
