Highpoint Two: August 2011
http://highpointtwo.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Worrying about townplanning, architecture, cities. Sunday, 14 August 2011. St Clement's Carpark and Machines for Living In. A nice bit of car-park related anger in The Half Moon on St. Clements. The author ain't wrong either, there's an awful lot of really really terrible apartment architecture out there. However, I think its usually much worse than anything inspired by either Corb or Stalin. Give me a machine to live in anyday. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Highpoint Two: 2010: the Coalition, the Cuts, and the Cities
http://highpointtwo.blogspot.com/2010/12/2010-coalition-cuts-and-cities.html
Worrying about townplanning, architecture, cities. Wednesday, 29 December 2010. 2010: the Coalition, the Cuts, and the Cities. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone. I’ve got to admit I’m falling victim, just like everyone else, to the massively uninspired ‘what have I learned this year? 8217; post. My only excuse is that the five day long eating marathon has somewhat dimmed my capacity for originality. I’m not saying I’ve high hopes for 2011, but at least it’s a fresh start.

Highpoint Two: April 2011
http://highpointtwo.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Worrying about townplanning, architecture, cities. Wednesday, 6 April 2011. Nice to meet you Christopher. My name is Sally Bowles. Excuse my absence. I’ve been…busy. So I went to Berlin recently. I love Berlin, its beautiful and ugly like an old man who's had an interesting life. I drank beer by the litre and walked the streets of Prenzlauerberg pretending I was Sally Bowles and he was Christopher Isherwood. What more could you want from a mini-break. Dog in a fountain in Volkspark Friedrichshain.

Highpoint Two: November 2010
http://highpointtwo.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Worrying about townplanning, architecture, cities. Monday, 29 November 2010. How do you preserve a modern building? Oxford City Council, St. Clement's Car Park and the Florey Building. To me, it is one of the best buildings of the university. It’s certainly much more progressive and intelligent than much of what the institution has built since (the Sackler Library, Magdalen’s Grove Building, Hertford’s Graduate accommodation, I could go on.). Stirling's nice little drawing of the Florey building. In an e...

Highpoint Two: Celebration USA! Disney, Pastiche, Surburbia and Me
http://highpointtwo.blogspot.com/2010/12/celebration-usa-disney-pastiche.html
Worrying about townplanning, architecture, cities. Thursday, 16 December 2010. Disney, Pastiche, Surburbia and Me. Did you read in the news recently that Disney’s town has had its first murder? The Mouseketeers are ringing their ears, while most commentators appear to be pushing the whole line that one murder in twenty years isn’t all that bad. As ‘the Vatican with mouse ears’ (oh the mental images). Things were better back in the good old days. You’ll understand that this means that when I’m...Subscribe...
