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) 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! Isn't this the same patination treatment they gave the East Leeds Flyover? Make it rusty now to stop it in the future Lot of asterixs about today aren't there

The East Leeds Flyover I take it is the John Smeaton Viaduct and part of LIRR Stage 7. The viaduct is made of concrete and weathered steel and, I believe, is a much more appropriate use of weathered steel.

Phill has a great set of pics of this, I was going to post the link back to them on flickr but they seem to be locked

Does anyone know anything about the funny little house that's next to this building? It looks a bit out of place and like it ought to have been knocked down given the chance, and so perhaps it's protected? It faces onto Blackman's Lane if I remember rightly.

I always thought that was linked to the church.
