New Unison Building adjacent to the old BBC Studios- Woodhouse Lane

Interesting, it is one of those building that you would either like or loath so it could be said that the architect has been successful in his statement albeit I do not see it as a lasting legacy statement be I do quite like it. I had just finished taking some pictures in and around Queens Square and as I turned the corner to walk up towards the University there it was. Initially a bit of a shock to the system after Queens Square

I'm not sure about it - a little like the pool, you have to admire the idea of the offering, what ever you feel.I wonder what people will think of this in 40 years? (btw - you've gone into the advertising business again)

Unlike the Parkinson tower it was meant to compete with I doubt this one will be there in 40 years

(btw - you've gone into the advertising business again) I know, dam Photobucket I do like those overhangs though Chameleon, the areas underneath haven't got the rust, I hope they don't too.I think it will become similar to the pool as you say.Love it or hate it!Either way, all credit because it certainly isn't bland like most going up!

A lot of course are well known      You missed out this building Phill, it could have it's own section. A pile of cr*p. Always reminds me of the walls in old pub gents toilets,its the tiles.

It'll probably look like the Titanic by then - a rusty smudge on the pavement!

Having looked into this building it seems I went to school with on of the architects team. I will send compliments/vilification in equal measure.

"You missed out this building Phill, it could have it's own section. A pile of cr*p."You can put it there next to the Department of Transport/Traffic Area building in Harehills, which the shight 70s thingy stuck to the outside.
