LONDON: THE WORLDS BUILDING SITE
Emerging from Victoria Station I was again struck by the
sheer number of building projects in this and every part of London.
Every street or road is taken up with road works, building
works.
Every other person seems to be wearing a fluorescent vest
and a hard hat.
The winds send up brick dust and concrete grime.
On every street corner a concrete lorry, or a vehicle full
of building materials is disgorging its load.
Every familiar bus stop seems to be suspended or moved 200
yards down the same street.
Pedestrians are shelved and funnelled in all directions by
intractable diversion signs.
A new ‘Brutalism’?
