I see that The Portland Building at @portsmouthuni is being refurbished by Studio Four Architects Ltd. Here is the cover shot I did of it for BSJ when it was all new and shiny:
Portland Building when it was new!
Had an excellent lunch out yesterday with a good friend and afterwards visited the fine Ansel Adams exhibition at the Maritime Museum, walking past Greenwich University’s new £76 million development on Stockwell Street to get there. (Designed by Heneghan Peng Architects) (goo.gl/O64lb) The building is only just starting to come out the ground but I rather liked the supporting structure of the houses adjacent to the site.
And the exhibition was rather good too. The last time I saw a substantial collection of Ansel Adams’ work was in South Africa in the late 70’s and whilst not being a wild AA enthusiast his work is as brilliant and inspiring now as it was then.
Then, later on my way into the big smoke I saw this which is quite fun…
