The rebursishment of the Grade I listed building has cost well over £400 million. The architect group designing the project - John McAslan and Partners - are planning it will be finished by the times the Olympics start in the summer. I'm not too keen of the purple which is displayed onto the design. It makes the area seem almost alien-esk. Maybe John McAslan wanted it to apear so, but to my opinion, it would have looked more asthetically pleasing if it was blue or a more organic colour. I initially thought that the new design would not fit well with the original brick building seen in the second picture, but to my surpirse they went together well.The old yellowish brick has been cleaned and looks new and modern, so even though there is a strong contrast,its looks aestehtically pleasing. The fact that the new design must suit the surrounding enviroment is a key point when designing.
As these are my own images, I was able to expeirince the space for myself, unlike many posts where I really like the design and wish I could be in the space.
