Peter Barber wins 4 RIBA awards for London social housing projects.
- good luck with the birds that nest under those arched porches.shapesalad
- thanksFax_Benson
- Those arches are designed so feral cats can live up there and feast on pigeons and keep the rats away when the garbage doesn’t get picked up post Brexithardhat
- How could this win awards? Maybe part of the push for ultra-conservative arch. The UK is way behind others in so many ways.formed
- This is social housing, so 'done cheap'. Not sure how this is 'way behind others in so many ways', esp. given one of our major cultural exports is architecture.Nairn
- you claim architecture as english culture? :-)uan
- Me? I'm not sure, at all, that I suggested that. It is a facet of our culture, just like it is for all cultures.Nairn
- Why wouldn't it win awards? this is really very good affordable housing.
https://open-city.or…Fax_Benson - The arch appear to be out of proportion with the rest of the house...very top heavy. What does the inside look like?
What doe sth inside of theseutopian - lovely view of that public bin out the window. plenty of noise from the traffic. miserable.shapesalad
- I struggle to understand how you've apparently made it near two decades in London, shape.Nairn
- I'm a grumpy sod but you're next level, shape. There's no traffic and no litter in the pic. Not sure the architect has control over either anyway.Fax_Benson
