Derelict or developing?

August 14th, 2007

Battersea Z

This snap is a detail of Battersea Power Station in London. It’s a fine old structure that has been gradually falling into dereliction through neglect. Many exciting plans for its development have been proposed but they never seem to come to anything. Once in a while somebody does a bit of work just to shore up the structure.

Bit like this site really.

I intend to be back blogging soon. Sooner anyway, I sincerely hope, than the Battersea developers.

    herzog and de meuron has started to lobby for the new extension to the Tate, I think its good, and it helps regenerate the entire stretch of london once so deserted and lonely
