I guess Hove wasn't the capstone of his career then. Luckily it never got built!

Why not just pitch them into the sea - and tell them not to breathe in!?

In City News the Mayor is photographed consorting with Josh Arghiros at the opening of the so-called Jamie Oliver restauarnt - but in fact Jamie Oliver turns out to be as elusive as Brad Pitt was at the King Alfred.

Arghiros is obviously taking the pasta again!

In this book of interviews with Gehry he does not sound too bothered that the Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn design has collapsed. It looked like his Hove design.

Perhaps the next architect for the King Alfred will be inspired by this instead of the promenading maidens?

A report states that rooms in modern English homes are too small.

Here is more on the housing situation.

Will the Tories have anything lined up long-term for the King Alfred before the 2011 local election?

The Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn look like being dully compromised. That must make us wonder what will happen to the King Alfred if anything more than the current patch up takes place.

I have adjusted the title of this topic. Perhaps it will bring in Royalists and Anglo-Saxon historians.

Interesting parallels here between skyscraper plans and the eventual state of the economy.

Not quite the full story although the Argus must now know exactly what went on. So, while this is released, the enquiry into the Marina decision is presently being played-out...

http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/4751407.The_Argus_s_two_year_battle_for_the_truth_about_King_Alfred/

Seems like some weak management at the top who perhaps should have stood up for the professional opinions of his staff

If the Conservatives were against the KA, why didn't they have this released sooner? They have been in for over two years.
