    Seeing as an absent forumite is no longer here. I suggest we celebrate his birthday with a architecture thread. Maybe a marine theme?

    I read that as ‘a marmite theme’ which is more appropriate IMO 🙂

    On which point, I give you The Barbican in that there Lahndan

    Marine you say? How about the De La Warr Pavillion in Bexhill on Sea

    Or a more modern take, the fancy Merikas Cup Pavillion in Valencia

    oh, and the black rubber beach house, Dungeness

    I remember when they used to do All-nighters in Leeds Corn Exchange. It was a fantastic venue to get absolutely spangled in 😀

    Only because of the lack of building materials, and yet still:

    St Kilda.

    Borerey – untouched since 1920’s and still standing. First building on the ‘edge of the world’…

    An open question to you. Did you actually read his Twitter comments?

    Why are you trying to derail this thread hora ? Your post has nothing to do with marine architecture. And represents a clear example of “negative use” of the forum.

    Why don’t you answer the question then, did you read the comments?

    Why don’t you post some marine architecture and if you have some other issue start another thread ?
