Architects; Aldington craig & Collinge, 1970s.

Shocked to hear that this building has recently been demolished without any required permission.

No doubt this British habit of 'culling' modern architecture is far from under control.

As far as I know, a unique and short lived experiment by two brothers was started building in 1968. Tim Organ, a builder and Robert Organ, an artist and lecturer in the history of architecture carried out the planning, overall form and detailing.

The design quality came high in their list of priorities and planning committees and clients were often 'persuaded' by Tim to accept his approach for the sake of consistency and quality.

Architects; London Borough of Merton, Architects Department. Late 60s.

Perhaps the Architect was informed that the gas storage is about to be demolished? This is suburban housing to lower densities. The influences of Stirling & Gowan's recent work were widespread.

You can see this building under construction in this photo. As a fan of modern architecture I think this is a beautiful addition to the Johannesburg architectural landscape.

Went up to Bristol with friends to get some architectural shots. Just missed a single person walking in front.

Oasis 21 was opened in 2002 on the Hisa-odori in Sakae, Nagoya. The cantilevered roof structure supports a glass bottom water filled reflecting pool and glass paved promenade around the perimeter of the elliptical pool. The roof spans over a bus and subway transportation hub and underground shopping center.

A beautiful symbol of how modern Kyoto was in the 1960s.

Marché aux puces de Barcelone. Rénové en 2013 par l'architecte Fermín Vázquez.

Same housing now. Apart from lots of different style entrance porches and entrance doors the design integrity remains intact.

A tired Victorian house in south west London, has been reconfigured and refurbished to create a stylish modern, architect designed home.
