Architects and critics reveal their architectural guilty pleasures
Critics, architects and Dezeen columnists including Oliver Wainwright, Ruth Reed, Owen Hatherley and Vicky Richardson are sharing photos of their guilty pleasures on Twitter.
People are revealing the buildings they secretly like using the hashtag #architecturalguiltypleasures in response to a tweet by critic and broadcaster Tom Dyckhoff, who asked: "Do you have an architectural 'guilty pleasure'""
Dyckhoff said his own architectural pleasure is the Former Swiss Bank on St James Street in London, which was designed by Rodney Gordon.
"This is mine. One of the first buildings I 'noticed' as a kid, on a trip to London. Love that brown glass *So 1970s*," he tweeted.
