  • Jingoism architecture harking back to the good old days

    Yes, maybe, but the context makes pretty much everything else impossible / an eyesore.

  • I'm not sure I agree, and I believe a decent architect/client could have designed a building that was truthful in its design whilst sympathetic to the wider area. There is an adjoining post-war building adjoining that has a certain charm although we're all conditioned to see pre-war housing as the visual gold standard and anything post-war as a blight. Above is the equivalent of a faux-Tudor house in zone 2/3.
