Alsop鈥檚 design for Headingley cricket ground

Chris鈥檚 verdict: Typical Alsop. I鈥檓 not sure how suited it is to the old English institution of cricket as a whole though. Personally I鈥檓 not a massive fan of Alsop鈥檚 architecture.

London鈥檚 first cycling bridge over the Thames

Chris鈥檚 verdict: Not a fan. It鈥檚 too futuristic for my liking. How will it actually relate to the built environment on the banks of the river Thames? This image is very good at giving it absolutely no context; cleverly ignoring this issue?

Minerva鈥檚 St Botolphs development in the City of London (being done by Skanska)

Chris鈥檚 verdict: This doesn鈥檛 stand out as an iconic building. However this makes it less overpowering to the nearby church (a good thing in my opinion). It does however look a bit dated鈥� already?

Woods Bagot鈥檚 design for Delancey Estates鈥� Rolls 精东影视 on Fetter Lane in the City of London

Chris鈥檚 verdict: Designed in a style which is a fairly safe bet in London - Portland stone fa莽ade, etc.. Again like the previous image unlikely to overpower any nearby local historic buildings. A safe bet really.

Images development by Redrow Homes in Bournemouth, by Cube Design

Chris鈥檚 verdict: I feel this is just another building following the existing trend of residential developments in the country at the moment. No elements stand out to me and it would be hard to say who designed it. There doesn鈥檛 seem to be any true design flair, apart from some 鈥榝eature colour panels鈥� of course. Having said this, the building may function superbly at all of it uses and so really if it is fully inhabited by happy residents then who can argue with it?
