Only an Evertonian could have done
this.
Building Design, the architect weekly
has paid Liverpool a lot of attention in recent years.
With good reason.
2009 winner, the Terminal Ferry carbuncle at the Pier Head won the (un)coveted title of the worst bit
of construction that year.
One Park Worst by Cesar Peli on Chavasse lawn came
third.
The giant squashed ciggy packet and ROME
MAXXI lookalike that is, The Museum of Liverpool also at The Pier
Head designed by 3XN, who subsequently got sacked, came runner up in 2011.
To Peel holdings MEDIA City.
The following year Liverpools
Architectural tragedy The Three Black coffins on Mann Island,designed by Matt Brook of Broadway Malyan was runner up.
The nomination this year is The Shankly Hotel designed by Coco The Clown.
It even made Sky News.
We never nominated this year 2018
Nomination The Shankly Hotel Liverpool......we got beat to it.
But nothing could have anticipated what landed, on the top of the block.
The rooftop extension was constructed
illegally by Kenwright as boss of Signature Living who seems to believe his own hype.
He then was
made to submit a retrospective planning application after numerous
complaints about him flouting the planning laws.
Mates with Fat Joe it was sure to be
passed though.
The council has sold the building to Signature living to buy Cunard Buildings
Anyone else would have been made to
take it down.
Signature Living have threatened BD
with legal action for what he called libellous comments.
Some people cant bear to hear the
truth, and the truth is that this publicity seeking individual who
runs the organisation is out of control, not only in his own mind, he
always was a architectural disaster waiting to happen.
If he is not stopped he will help
enable the city to be judged by the hen parties who are unfortunate enough to stay at his
hotels as a blight on the city and the great heritage that we once
had.
Oh hang on most of them are that pissed when they get here they struggle to find his hotel.

This particular block styled as a flat
iron to fit on the site was sold to Kenwright by Liverpool City
Council, so they have to uphold his attempts at becoming Bob the
Builder so they don't look even more stupid than they are.
How many deals are done under the
counter these days by the Oligarchs who run the council?
How does Bob the Blunderer get away
with providing such boring space and then getting it passed by the
pathetic planners.
What is unquestionable is that
Liverpool is now a architectural mess. If you don't like it don't read
on. The waterfront is an architectural abortion and Liverpool retains
its infamous badge of being on The World Heritage 'In Danger' list.
The clowns at the council run by Fat
Joe are the least able people to judge architecture. So they should
not be passing anything that hits the planning table.
The laughing stock that Liverpool is
becoming in architectural circles, among those who can bear to look
at the abomination that has happened is staying silent right now.
They are scared to open their mouths for fear of being unpatriotic to
the great city.
The more of you you that don't wake up
to reality and show your mentality the more you will have people like
Kenwright writing the articles for the Liverpool Echo and thus
pulling the wool over the thick people who read it.
Lets hope The Shankly Hotel Extension
wins the Carbuncle Cup award not only as a justified winner but as an
example of what is befalling a city that now looks worse than when we
had no investment. That is covered in high rise student flat
carbuncles.
Only an Evertonian could do this, with
the help of the Shankly family we have to add.
We think Bill Shankly will be turning
in his grave.
