With such a striking design it is bound to generate extreme views on either side of the debate. It is worthy of saving purely becuse it is "striking". Maybe not as a bus station, but a bit of original thinking could bring it into the city and make it a building we can be proud of. <br />I must confess to a slightly biased view on this as my Father designed it and I remember the blood, sweat and tears that went into it. We cannot sweep the 60's away and pretend they didn't happen. we should keep and treasure examples of this form of architecture for future generations, dependant on your point of viwe either as a warning or as an inspiration. Either way once it's gone it's gone and another boring shopping centre that looks like all the others will replace it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
