Rebuilding London Bridge. Slightly blurred. | Betaville

Urbanism. It'll look nice when it's finished. Rebuilding London Bridge. Slightly blurred. March 31, 2015. It’s true that I started this blog with good intentions, then in September last year my masters degree began, and suddenly I seemed to have no time. I’ve written essays and things though, will maybe post a selection of them in due course – some writing on such things as gentrification and London’s war on the poor would be an improvement on my normal witterings.

Urbanism. It'll look nice when it's finished. July 24, 2014. There’s something unfortunate about the name ‘Confluence Place’, a small new park planned for the centre of Lewisham. ‘Confluence’ sounds a bit close to ‘effluent’ to me, and the overlap is further reinforced by it being at the confluence (do you see what they did there? I assume that an early plan was to have a pedestrian route through the complex from the high street it looks like there was an intention to indicate this by the form of the mai...

An Encyclopedia of Myself | Betaville

https://betavilleblurb.wordpress.com/2014/09/01/an-encyclopedia-of-myself

Urbanism. It'll look nice when it's finished. An Encyclopedia of Myself. September 1, 2014. By the end of this month I’ll be deep into a reading list for my MSc (Urban Studies at UCL’s Urban Lab, since you ask) so am enjoying my last days of literary freedom. After that it’s all gentrification, co-housing and Jane Jacobs. Anyway, the summer draws to a close and I’ve just finished Jonathan Meades’ An Encyclopedia of Myself. If you’re not already a fan, I’d suggest reading. This entry was posted in Book.

Archi things to do in London | Betaville

https://betavilleblurb.wordpress.com/2014/07/31/archi-things-to-do-in-london

Urbanism. It'll look nice when it's finished. Archi things to do in London. July 31, 2014. This is as much a note to myself for stuff I’d like to see, but thought I’d share it. Often, the weeks will fly by and I miss things, only realising this when I go to check the dates. So to avoid that sudden sinking feeling, and in no particular order…. Louis Kahn: The Power of Architecture. At the Design Museum till 12th October. At the other end of the glam scale, I notice from John Gridrod’s excellent blog.

Woolwich and the Carbuncle Effect | Betaville

https://betavilleblurb.wordpress.com/2014/09/03/woolwich-and-the-carbuncle-effect

Urbanism. It'll look nice when it's finished. Woolwich and the Carbuncle Effect. September 3, 2014. I’ve just read that. The enormous new blob of apartments that sit uncomfortably on top of a Tesco, has won the Carbuncle Cup. 8211; Building Design magazine’s award for Britain’s worst new piece of architecture. The irony of writing ‘Every little helps’ in huge letters on a hugely overscaled building was lost on me at the time. I was too busy noticing the hugely overscaled building. Actually, I don’t.

August 6, 2015. Is there really such a thing as a ‘ SuperHouse. In the old days we called them McMansions. What’s clear today is that there’s such a thing as the ‘Modernist McMansion’ – McModernism, perhaps – a style of building that’s just as bloated and excessive as any pastiche, only it’s cloaked in the stylistic language of ‘progressive architecture’, hiding a multitude of sins / Bruno Munari.
