Two proposals for student accommodation - in Paris (left) and Bath (right). Tall and dense buildings *can* be beautiful. The fact that Croydon’s aren’t is a *political* choice made by Croydon Labour, who want people to live in ugliness. #BuildBackBeautiful!

When it comes to architecture, "pastiche" is not a bad thing. If a new building looks like a beautiful old building, what's wrong with that? "Beauty is subjective" is often just an excuse architects make when they know their proposal is ugly. #BuildBackBeautiful

Construct buildings so attractive, that you’re proud to light them up and show them off. 📍Bromley #BuildBackBeautiful

Two sides of the same street. Never forget that Ugliness is a political choice. #BuildBackBeautiful 📍George Street, Croydon

Two sides of the same street. Remember: Ugly buildings are not necessary. When somebody builds or permits an ugly building, it is because they hate you. There is no other explanation. #BuildBackBeautiful 📍 Purley

What makes the (new) development on the left so much more gorgeous than the (existing) one on the right? Let’s work it out - and then build lots more of it. 📍 Kensington #BuildBackBeautiful

This is a terrible photograph, but some design choices were made here: •Massing has been broken up with contrasting materials and patterns; •Nice detailing around the windows and edges; •Pitched roofs to make the buildings less imposing. #BuildBackBeautiful 📍Riddlesdown

This development in Purley has two of my biggest hates: 1) The shipping container on the roof. No they don’t look like Parisian mansards, stop it. 2) Cookie-cut windows. Couldn’t they have a nice border? Couldn’t this frontage have some texture? Anything? #BuildBackBeautiful

I dislike these tower blocks because they are ugly. One of the biggest things the developer got wrong was failing to put any kind of attractive crown at the top - as if they ran out of bricks and just thought “that’ll do.” Where’s the love? 📍East Croydon #BuildBackBeautiful

Took a tour around Ten Degrees (“The Black Towers”) today - here are some of the views from the top floors 👀 It was great to speak to Greystar representatives about what they have learned about good external design, now that this project is finished. #BuildBackBeautiful
