The sun was out again this morning but it looks like there is rain coming in over the next day or two so I thought I would make another excursion to the coast, this time I went to Victoria Point. At first it didn’t seem to be as nice as Wellington Point but as you leave the jetty and head north hugging the coastline, then it begins to become a bit more palatable apart from some areas where the big square architectural monoliths have appeared lowering the tone of the whole neighbourhood. I think there are too many home design programmes on TV now and the dumb folk with money think that building a monstrosity in a place without any sympathy to the existing landscape is a fun thing to do or maybe all the available architects had the same stupid teacher.

I’m more of a traditionalist but I do like to see modern innovative design but you would be hard pushed to find it on this part of the coast. Build big for big’s sake and forget about design seems to be what happened here. Mind you in amongst the failures there are a few that excel with forethought and the results are plain to see.
