yu: I think they are features on the balcony railings. I find those building very exciting and stylish.

There are buildings like this in Sydney (post war), they were mostly built to be functional as opposed to being aesthetically pleasing. But although I think the designers had the right idea eg. le corbusier. A lot of those sorts of buildings were reserved in France as public housing and similarly in places like Chicago. Just not very cheery places on the outside. What are the red things from the Trellick building, they kind of jazz up the building?

skirmishofwit and if jane: he was very fascinating, there is a good biography by nigel warburton called Erno Goldfinger – the life of an architect. Such an interesting person.

I enjoyed this post a lot! I visited 2 Willow Road in the summer and found it fascinating. Goldfinger sounded such an interesting character.
