maydrakin Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Don't get me wrong - I'm excited about potential gigs there (hopefully they'll get decent gigs, rather than the usual fayre that is thrown up at the assembly rooms). It's just an ugly soon to be dated building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike93rh Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 It's a horrendously clad building. It's in a similar vein to the Derbyshire Cricket indoor nets that were built a while ago, with the horizontal panels of different colours. That looks disgusting too yet whoever designed this monstrosity obviously didn't have a look at that building first.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 God England really is dull isn't it? Not for those who live or work away it isn't. We all moan about our little part of the world, yet millions of people aspire to come and live and work in this strange shaped island of ours. Despite raping and pillaging half the world to create an empire we are still looked upon as one of the fairest, most civilised places on earth to live. Any country that produces people like Bucko can't be doing much wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbobram Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 If we keep knocking things down - nothing will ever become historic - even 1970's buildings. Like when does a Derby shirt, become retro? But the assembly rooms looks like it should be in Russia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaxholmeRam Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I was hoping the car park fire would spread and take the whole lot down. It's a concrete atrocity. I completely agree. Awful building. Knock it, the old Debenhams and most of Colyear street down and replace them with traditional looking, grand buildings. Would put us in a par with Rome then lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go around the city and look at the monstrosities constructed the past 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBustler1884 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Like what? Quad is good, arena is good, council house is excellent, jury's inn is good, brook st is much better, train station is vastly improved. Riverlights is a bit boring but does the job, friar gate square is fantastic and salder bridge studios are great too. What are you expecting from the city? Having said all that, I know everyone's tastes are different. People love the gherkin building in London but I think it looks like a butt plug.
