So i travelled from Dorridge to West Bromwich to have a cup of coffee and a muffin in a £50 million black boz with pink jelly beans in a town centre that appeared rather run down. I must say i also like the sink (fountain) in the toilets. very cool! although at first i thought it was where you go to the toilet. oh dear!

It is totally hidden away, it looks confused and why the hell they built that in west bromich i have no idea plus did you know it cost £50 million to build, really!. It is out of place and out of touch with the community, definately not appreciated by locals and it isn't free. window frames don't work and there is to much clutter inside. whatever. peace.

Way too much text in the press release. But that rambling pseudo-justification won't convince anyone that this isn't crap. Alsop and FAT have exhausted my tolerance for irreverent architecture. Ha Ha! we're British and irreverent... ha ha..... ugh. Way too much junk in this building. Way too much text in the press release.

That 'fun' design equals a riot of colours, shapes and blobs is all so so very tired and an epitome of the current impotence of architeture to be anything but relevant, especially in the UK!
