I'm very pleased with the redevelopment of the waterfront area. I had the chance to take some photographs this weekend (MAR 2010) for the first time:

Zaha Hadid's new Museum in Rome is up for the Stirling prize this year. An uncanny resemblance to 3XN's Liverpool design methinks. Didn't Hadid compete with 3XN for the Liverpool Museum? I wonder what her design would have looked like?
Great shots everyone!!!
Five minutes before the rain
I took this shot yesterday before the rain.
I know the new buildings at the Pier Head have their critics, but I have to say the more I see them, the more I think they have them spot on. The area feels open, and the mix of old and new is fantastic, let's sort out the landing stage and we will have a waterfront everybody should be proud of.. Peolpe don't remember the plain old boring, they remember the bold and the different.
I was privileged to watch a couple of short (9 mins each) films last night that will be going into the new museum. One concerning Gerard Gardens which is a drastically shortened version of Paul Sudbury's Gardens of Stone (without the offending copyright soundtrack and samples of films he uses and has permission for). The other is about the courts and put together by the Museum's appointed production company and uses some of Paul's images. Both will accompany other visual aspects of the subject matter including a 'mock up Court' similar to which was in the old museum of Liverpool life. The Museum is currently being fitted out which will take until next Spring - apparently.
Does anybody know when the term Three Graces first came into use, and how did it come about?
While not quite uniquely named...

Could this be where it all began...

Who said buildings had to be permanent?
Are any buidings permanent?
The crumbling pyramids and the fate of the World Trade Centre suggest otherwise.
