Les Arènes de Picasso. This district of Noisy-le-Grand (near Paris) is characterized by two cylinder-shaped buildings (nicknamed "Camemberts" by the inhabitants) face to face around a square. Built in 1981. Architect : Manolo Nunez-Yanowsky. This place served as a location for many movies and clips. The architect aimed to honor Gaudi and Picasso. #noisylegrand #arenesdepicasso #architecturemoderne #architecturelovers #archilovers #archi_lovers #buildings #buildingslovers #concrete #renforcedconcrete #postmodernism #archigram #instaarchi #instaarchitecture #picasso #commeunouragan #manolonunezyanowsky #socialhousing #brutalist #brutalism #brutalist_architecture #paris #france #archiporn #modernism #betonbrut #postmodernarchitecture #brutgroup #socialmodernism #urbanphoto
This is how Balfron Tower looked before @egretwest, @abrogersdesign, @poplar.harca and @londonewcastle - aided and abetted by @historicengland and Tower Hamlets London Borough Council - conspired to mutilate and vandalise it.
You see, on 22 October 2015 Historic England - “in order to safeguard the special architectural or historic interest of the building” - prepared a set of conditions which were supposed to be met during the "refurbishment" of Balfron Tower.
Two conditions were especially important.
Firstly: “A mock-up section of the proposed fenestration system comprising glazing, framing and perforated panelling which should be prepared and presented on site.” And secondly: “A sample panel for the patching of the external bush hammered concrete showing the proposed proportions of mix, colour and texture shall be provided on site at low level.” Four years ago things were clear. But at what point did somebody authorise this shocking travesty of any known conservation policy, a litany of extensive material changes that has caused such grotesque damage to a Grade II*-listed building?
I think it's time to start a campaign to strip the "refurbished" Balfron Tower of its listing and, since we can't really expect a return to the status quo ante, urgently reform Historic England. Because really: who is guarding the guardians?

Quartos voltados para o quintal e salas inundadas de luz são algumas das características desse conjunto de sobrados projetados pelo escritório @jirauarquitetura, em Caruaru, Pernambuco. Cobogós nas fachadas para melhor ventilação e cores vibrantes rompem com a ideia da ausência de identidade em moradias destinadas à população de baixa renda. @antoniopreggo .
