Fat Get Fatter

While lamenting the obnoxious, developer-led ‘Dallas in the 80s’ style of architecture that’s sweeping through London it’s comforting to note architectural firm, F.A.T. [fashionarchitecturetaste.com] seem to be gaining recognition for their well crafted, community driven and, well, ‘jolly’ building designs with a raft of new commissions and proposals underway. After their New Islington development in Manchester [newislington.co.uk] they seem to be on the cusp of becoming a household name. Some work on the interior’s of KesselKramer’s new London branch is shown above [kkoutlet.com]. Pay attention City of London, these are the buildings people will still be talking about in 20–50 years time not the city-worker glass and steel ghettos that can only be described as ‘tall’ [heroninternational.co.uk]. We’ll try to showcase a selection of London’s recent wonders and blunders in the coming weeks (weather permitting). Any suggestions, let us know.
