a barely 10 year old building built on a waterfront in a seaside community has been slated for demolition after a poll rated it as Englands most hated building.
its interesting because i've been researching how listen to communities in forming values for heritage purposes.
all the same i would hate to be that architect...
"A seaside building that won a poll as the most hated in England is to be bought by a local authority and razed.
Bournemouth borough council is to spend around £7.5m to rid the Dorset resort of the Waterfront leisure complex. Featuring dark glass and a wavy roof designed to represent the sea, the development, also known as the Imax building, caused an outcry when it was opened in 1998 owing to both its looks and the fact that it blocked a beloved view across the water to the Purbeck Hills."
