New Everton Stadium

[blulouie]

Its a small design detail. I doubt most will even notice it. Pretty much every large build have some detail quirks the architect installed into them. And most folk havnt a clue what they are.

Evertonians will know.

Anyone else dont matter.

I mean, what does a world renowned architect, with over thirty years of designing sports stadiums across the globe, know over, Dave, 59 from Wigan, who pens the agony aunt column in the Morning Star ?

Pretty sure there was a poll on here (can't find it) asking what aspects of Goodison should be incorporated in the new ground. Also pretty sure that a reference to the Leitch criss cross design was the most popular choice

They went for that same neo-classical style. Everton's stadium is a modernist construction. There has to be a line drawn under Goodison, not let it hangover into the new stadium.

WTF is the point of that?!

This development has just been approved at West Waterloo Dock. With obvious references to the dock warehouse buildings and arches.
Is this "Utterly daft beyond belief" also?

…..I thought those would be laid as individual bricks by teams of brickies.

i suppose it makes sense that they’re panels.

It’s how Laing’s operate. They have a massive factory complex in Worksop where them make a lot of pre cast concrete and panels such as the ones shown today. Saves them a lot of time and money as well as it being safer as everything is done in a controlled environment in the factory.

Looks fantastic that.

If you prefer architecture with zero nods to history, get yourself into a 1960's tower block flat. If there are any left.

Ha ha. The old brickwork debate again.

Just think, in around 2 years, there’ll be arguments in here about the grass being the wrong shade of green.

I don’t know why he cares anyway. Won’t be able to see the brickwork because of the massive effing wall blocking it

Wait till everyone sees the seats are a slight shade of blue out

*taps nose

Yes. For Goodison. In Walton.

When you move house do you ever try and bring the old house's gate with you?

It's 'kin ridiculous.

When you move house don’t you bring any furniture etc from it or do you start again from nothing?

We are all getting older mate. I got a shock recently when my grandson informed me they had been studying the 1960s in history class

It also fits in with the original buildings in the area such as the titanic and tobacco warehouse . I’d much rather them do that and keep it traditional than lash a load of buildings up with crap cladding on the outside which will look massively dated on 10/15 years time.

It looks superb. It’s going to be quite a district if the infill development is this quality.
