Probably has a big enough footprint to stick a combined nursing home/medical centre/leisure facility for the elderly in there, they won't put housing somewhere that remote though.Think of it like a Centre Parks
This is an interesting piece. Is the building even worth saving? It was used for about a decade and has spent the next 4 decades falling down. It looks like a car park and I suspect it it was a city centre car park it would have gone long ago.
Do people think that these 60's concrete constructions are worth saving? They don't float my boat I have to say and whenever I watch programmes about architecture they get to this period and I see Park Hill in Sheffield and those ones in Camden and I can't say I see an attractive place to live personally.
There was that car park in Gateshead that found cinematographic fame in Get Carter at a point when it was being built. However when Tesco's rocked up and wanted the site and offered cash and a new swimming baths for Gateshead they said "fuck that" and the car park was gone !
Alternatively will students of architecture and people of the future look back in 150 years time and consider these 60's office blocks, car parks etc to be classics - not like a 500 year old cathedral classic - but something that they are glad was saved for posterity?
