Cambridge is revered for it's beautiful HISTORIC architecture and it's period homes command premium prices. This surely demonstrates the value we place on historical architectural detail.
It seems short sighted and faddish to continue to build structures that resemble post apocalyptic bunkers (CB1, Ninewells, Abode) particularly in such a historically sensitive and high profile setting.
Whilst I support the concept of the proposed illustration. They seem to be replacing one incongruous eyesore with another. Please can the frontages of new buildings echo more of the historic architectural style that provides the character and charm that post war building has obliterated!!
