Well said Drum!

A sensitive architect can judge when to design a foreground building and when a back ground building is more appropriate. Looking at the photos it seems like a free-standing pavilion in the middle of a public space, performing a public function is quite justified in rising to the challenge with a bit of quirkiness and fun. After all this is no housing scheme. Function, site and context are all pointing to the need for a foreground landmark structure. And who knows, maybe those facetted walls conceal grey water harvesting and an array of solar cells as well!

Its difficult without drawings, but let us all try to improve the quality of critical analysis a bit.

bald skull, is there a brain in that bald skull of yours? why dont you think before you type? what precludes any building being a beautiful landmark.

The panoply of positive comments is quite impressive: La Tourette, comercial, Starship Destroyer. Well done indeed to Gravesend and Plastik Architects.

Love it! Who’d have guessed Gravesend had it in them? Only a matter of time before George Michael is seen in this part of Kent…

Well in that case, this ‘discovery’ is a manifestation of previous discoveries…rewarding in a self interested commercial way i’m sure.

would be a REAL revolution if it somehow recycles the grey water and pumped it to a nearby garden/rooftop garden.

SERIOUSLY, it’s time to green these ridiculous projects up people! HOLLA!

and WhyTF would you want public toilets to be a ‘minor-landmark’ ? WTF!! LOL
