I know that this project is also designed to regenerate the old run down town of margate but by putting an ultra modern building next to a load of run down seaside town houses and fishing boats really isn't the way forward. Serious reconsidering is needed! I mean come on J.M.W Turner??? He is what made margate so famous! using him in an art gallery in margate...brilliant but not in this building... he was born in 1775...not 2075!!!!!

I am trying to prove margate is a possitive place, although the town is extreamly run down, there is still beauty and history there. This new building is suposed to turn Margate into a new and improved attraction, that brings business to the local shops so that they can rejuvenate them and make the town more attractive. The picture of what the building is expected to look like is a lovely piece of arcitecture, but I feel that it has no relevance to Margate it'self and looks completelt out of place. In this setting, with the history sorrounding Margate and the beautiful scenary, I would expect somthing more traditional and simpathetic of the old seaside town. I did not expect this modern monstrosity that will take over the town and defeat the object of what J.M.W Turner was achieving by painting the beatiful sunsets and scenay of Margate.
