Homes for the ? suggestions!!!!!!

But as I move west along Greendyke Street the facade of Homes for the Future, starts to look in places just that, a facade. Once again a good development let down by quality of finish. Now don`t forget I am just passing by, But I am looking as I pass, because I am taking pictures, I am not picking over things, I don`t have time to stop to long. One out of three photographs show cracking and damaged rendering,



another shows a lack of regard for the existence of pigeons, even opposite a park the size of Glasgow Green. The mesh over the slatted glazed detail is an after thought, it looks shabby!. Now some may say better that, than pigeons nesting in the space and messing it up. But what about form and function, good design is about anticipating problems, solving them before proceeding. With the advent of advanced computer modelling and rendering in recent years these neccessary after thoughts should not happen
