There's an award, can't remember its name, for the worst new building of the year. One is the Strata, nicknamed "The electric razor", near Waterloo station. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d8/Strata_SE1_from_Monument_2014.jpg/800px-Strata_SE1_from_Monument_2014.jpg
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

That's it. I see there's a winner in my home town of Stockport.
