Reminder of Barnet Eye, June 2010

Link to the Barnet Eye

"This is one of the pictures from the architects' prospectus for the Brent Cross redevelopment. The area within the black boundary is the area to be redeveloped. Usually architects are proud to display their work, but in this picture, it takes less than 1/4 of the picture. Odd really.

"Now ask yourself this question (I've helpfully added three potential answers). Why do you think that the developers are keen to build these monstrosities? 
  1. Because they have a deeply-held belief that people enjoy living in concrete jungles? 
  2. Because they want to live there themselves? 
  3. Because they'll make tens of millions of quid?"
