THRELKELD VILLAGE HALL, THRELKELD, CUMBRIA BY GREEN DESIGN GROUP

WHAT IN GOD'S NAME IS GOING ON HERE? WHEN THE GOVERNMENT GIVES OUT ECO GRANTS TO STOP BUILDINGS DESTROYING THE WORLD, THEY SHOULD REALLY FUCKING READ THE APPLICATIONS TO ESTABLISH WHETHER THE BUILDINGS THEY ARE FUNDING WILL INSTEAD DESTROY OUR RETINAS WITH THEIR EXTREME FUGLINESS.
LOOK AT THE BIG PURPLE SLOPEY COLUMN. LOOK AT THE 'FULLY DDA COMPLIANT' ENTRANCE SEQUENCE. LOOK AT THE TRULY BIZARRE INWARD SLOPING WINDOWS ON THE RIGHT.
THIS HAS ACTUALLY GOT PLANNING PERMISSION, BUT THEY'RE STILL FUNDRAISING, SO WE CAN STILL MAN THE BARRICADES IN THRELKELD. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THRELKELD IS, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE IT'LL BE ON GOOGLE MAPS. WHO'S WITH ME?
AND WHAT THE FUCK ARE THOSE CHILDREN DOING TO THAT DOG IN THE FOREGROUND OF THIS PICTURE?

  1. Hmmm. I know where it is. This is the last thing the lovely Threlkeld needs. I'm with you on this...

    "The village hall "Threlkeld Public Room" has served the village for a hundred years. It was opened on 18th December 1901, and is extensively used for village activities..."

  2. You are right - not very nice at all - is this a theme park by any chance...are these big wheels in the background of the first image? Hope the dog is okay - Dave T

  5. I don't think you should worry: this design looks impossible to build. To make some of those shapes would require geometric powers far beyond the average contractor. There are only three dimensions, after all.

  7. I actually find this one strangely alluring.
