Skyscrapers and the New London Skyline: 1945-1991

I keep returning to this essay, which I've no doubt spooled before.


 

However, after seeing Blowup on the TV yesterday, I was looking for photos of London Wall, which is seen (briefly) in the movie, about 30 minutes in.


 

Figure 3 in the essay shows essentially the same view, of London Wall and the Miesian tower blocks.


 

Figure 4 shows the ugly, squatting, postmodern lump of Alban gate, which has utterly spoiled the aspect, if you ask me.


 

(Which no-one has, of course).


 

I think I'm becoming some sort of modernist fanboy.
