New office building starts to go up at 198-202 Piccadilly, London W1
This new building is in the heart of London’s West End. It faces three ways: north onto Piccadilly, south onto Jermyn Street and west onto Church Place - an important pedestrian link between the two main streets.
It is eight storeys high and will house over 70,000 square feet of office space and nearly 30,000 square feet of retail space. It is a modern classical design that complements the character of its surroundings while adding something fresh and new.
The site is highly sensitive. Not only is Piccadilly one of the most important and best-known thoroughfares in London but, on one side, it is adjacent to St James Church by Sir Christopher Wren and, on the other side, it abuts the old Simpson’s building (now Waterstones) – a pioneering Modernist building of the 1930’s.
The building is designed to express the prestige of the area and the high quality of the accommodation with a distinct identity and strong character. It is built of Portland stone with cast metal details. Column capitals in form of human heads have been commissioned from the leading classical sculptor, Alexander Stoddart. Large crested dormer windows and ten-foot high urns create a dramatic silhouette against a sloping copper roof. A powerful octagonal tower marks the corner of Church Place and Piccadilly. At the upper levels, the plant room is contained within a delicate rooftop pavilion with narrow columns and glass walls.
The design makes full use of traditional classical techniques to fit into its varied urban setting. The facades are carefully modulated with increasing and decreasing detail to reflect the different character of the different streets: Piccadilly has full classical detail while Jermyn Street is more restrained and, in between, the detail is all but removed in Church Place. Although different, each façade is part of a unified and dynamic architectural whole.- source Architects Robert Adam
This is a black and white image of myself holding a negative. The whole image has been inverted to make the negative a postive and the positive a negative.
The girl in the picture is Kate. She and I went to school together. We started at the same time, in the same program, with a bunch of others who eventually became our friends. This picture was taken in one of our classes.
A year ago, Kate was kidnapped, raped and murdered. Her body was left in a creek. She was in her car in the parking lot of the mall that she worked in, near Richmond Virginia, it was around 8am. A man drove up, parked next to her, got out (and from what I can only assume), forced her by gunpoint to get into his car. She never made it to work that day.
My closest friend from college, Brittnie and Kate were roommates. I was back in my hometown the night that Kate disappeared. She called me, the first time in months, to tell me Kate was missing. I told her not to worry, she was probably staying with a friend. How many times had she not come home when she was living with Brittnie? About 20 minutes later, her face came up on the news. Since she'd gone to school up here in Pittsburgh, it was news here as well. I watched in shock as they showed the surveilance tape of the car that took her away.
2 days later, Brittnie called me to let me know that her body had been found. I'd been scouring the web to try and find information on what was going on.
Shortly after the announcement was made that they'd found her body, and they had a good idea who did this to her, the bastard killed himself.
Remembrance of a daughter - an article I found today about her parents and their lives since this horrible tragedy.
Be careful out there.

Wat leuk om zuster Blokland, die half Hardinxveld-Giessendam met hun intrede in de wereld hielp als jong meisje op de foto te zien. Ik herinner me haar nog good want ze was bij elk kind dat in ons gezin geboren werd.
