Do You Want The Gehry Towers?

[Grendel]

Looks like a Lego set gone wrong.

 

[maffew]

I was only half listening to the tour guide. It was hot.

you're not wrong!

those steps are f***ing steep as well, came down them sat on my arse holding the rope tightly

 

[trueblue]

It's just not a site that needs that type of development. Far too many flats and a watered down sports centre.

They should be holding out for a sports development that's the envy of the country. Instead, they're letting the housing take it over when Brighton & Hove is, frankly, full up!

 

[rool]

My first impression from that picture is that it's not worthy of being the dominant feature of the views that you get of Brighton and Hove from the downs or Worthing and places like that.

Could make a well-decent replica out of THESE

 

[Easy 10]

Do stop waffling Tom.

 

[Caveman]

Horrible looking building.

 

[33057 Seagull]

Definitely as long as they build the new pools first as my kids use them.

 

[Sammy the seagull]

They do look a bit shite.

 

[Strike]

Nice looking building, but don't think it suits a place like quiet and gentille Hove. As Bluejuice says it will block the views of the residents, Hove needs just a new leisure centre, as when I last went to the King Alfred a few years ago, I thought it seriously needs a new centre.

As Bluejuice says it will block the views of the residents

Yeah but who wants to look at boring old residents ?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

In the next decade Brighton and Hove will get TWO iconic developments. This is one of them.

The city deserves both.

 

[Robot Chicken]

In the original plan they were going to include a cinema. It's unbelievable there is no cinema in Hove considering it's the birthplace of UK cinema.

Once they dropped the cinema idea I lost interest.

Let 'em build whatever they want, all I do is drive past it a couple of times a day.

 

[Mr C]

I have a fondness for the King Alfred from my school days and going swimming there.

Long live the king

 

[Gwylan]

Marvellous. It will improve a shabby part of the seafront no end.

I think as a rule of thumb it's safe to say that if Selma Mountford is against something, I'm all for it.

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Looks quite COOL to me.

 

[Yorkie]

I agree with Jonathon Livingstone and Beach Hut.
People in Hove are like dinosaurs.

 

[John Boy]

I actually quite like it. The picture doesn't do it any favours, but it'll look good when it's developed.

 

[Hatterlovesbrighton]

I think its great and would love to live there, or right next to it.

I hate NIMBYS. I also hate people that object to mobile phone masts, who have mobile phones.

Progress = Forwards into the future not staring bleakly back into oblivion.
