Weirdly dilapidated inclusive graffiti at the entrance to Freight Island Manchester
Opulent interior though. Maybe this is Tom Curtis-Powley's vision of a resurrected Hacienda made from shipping containers?
The energy statement for Freight Brixton is a bit of a joke (how could it be anything else with a largely outdoor venue?)
The applicants is using recycled shipping containers
The use of photo-voltaic power is not going to reduce energy requirements in hours of darkness they say AND "The standard tools for assessing the energy use of buildings don’t apply to this type of project."
I have three things to say:
1. Good job UMIST has been demolished. My successor comrade students in Manchester would surely have been seduced into popping across the road to this haven of high brow hijabi hoody intellectuals!
2. I would have preferred the Hondo Tower to all this pissing about with shipping containers (Nul Points! from most on here for that)
3. Why don't the Reconstituted National Rail and The Mayor of London reinstate the platforms at Brixton Station allowing access to services to Peckham, Nunhead and Lewisham and all points east???
Never mind duplicating the Pop Brixton development in an even dodgier site!
