HOUSING IN FARNWORTH, BOLTON BY CONTOUR HOMES

There are some projects designed to give people as little as possible to talk about. And, sure enough, as you try to think of something to say about the above proposal, you descend into existential crisis, nothingness becomes tangible, and the gaping vacuum of your mind swallows any design criticism instinct you (and the planners) ever had.
This is inoffensive architecture at its most offensive. Most telling to me is how the image puts lots and lots of detail into rendering the blue Renault Megane, a bit less into rendering the houses, and none at all into the people (or the dog).
Look out for more of this rubbish, as our glorious housing industry and planning inspectorate revert to what they know in the face of economic disaster.
